This project redefines waste wood as a valuable architectural resource by introducing a replicable framework for sustainable building design and construction (SBDC). Rooted in circular economy principles, the project addresses the pressing challenge of reusing irregular off-cut wood—material typically dismissed due to its non-standard geometry.
