Public buildings

CLAYTEC clay building materials are used for public buildings to give them a special character. Our portfolio includes museums, congress buildings, and sanatoriums. Since the beginning, spaces used for religious purposes have been a particular focus. You will find impressive new buildings, lovingly rehabilitated half-timbered farmsteads, or fascinating spaces made of rammed clay. Each of these examples is something special, every one unique. And you can visit all of them!

A circular building system

A circular building system

The Essen-based start-up "Future2K" (F2K) has taken up this challenge and since 2021 has been developing new forms and processes for an environment that can be built in a sustainable and resource-saving way. The basis for this is a cycle-based building system. Together with development partners Arup, the Institute for Digitalization of Construction at the University of Duisburg Essen, and other research and production partners from Germany and Europe, F2K has developed an initial prototype. This prototype is the basic building block of a modular system called "ADPT". This is an adaptive, cycle-based, scalable and climate-positive building.
