greenSand as ballast

It is well known that greenSand olivine is a perfect stone to use as ballast in timber construction. This is how Brian Wennersten from The Dutch Bamboo Foundation came to us when he was looking for a foundation layer for the bamboo pavilion Trilix, which was built for the New European Bauhaus festival in Brussels. In this case, it offers a cradle2cradle solution, because the stone could simply be used in another application after the festival.

Natural beauty

The Trilix pavilion was one of the beautiful structures showcased during the festival. A combination of sustainability with innovative design. Inspired by natural beauty. Striking with its round roofs that converge like clover leaves to create a harmonious and distinctive structure.

The bamboo pavilion "Trilix" was located in the Jubelpark, also known as Cinquantenaire Park.
