Kongsvinger – The O-House made from reclaimed materials

Policy Case

Last updated: May 19, 2022

Summary

The O-House is a modular youth home based on recycled wood that can be moved around in six municipalities in the Kongsvinger region to demonstrate the potential to reclaim and repurpose local construction materials. It is the first building project in the region that is circular by design and that aims to use demolition materials as construction material–sourced from a local barn.
