A new taphouse, designed by Copenhagen-based ADEPT, at the harbor of Danish city Koege, will welcome the more than 15,000 yearly visitors to the nearby micro-brewery Braunstein and offers activities for the local community.
The Braunstein Taphouse is "designed for disassembly" to make the recycling of building components possible if the structure would need to move to a different site in the future. According to ADEPT, the design allows for the building to be completely reassembled or for certain parts to be used as part of another project.
Mechanical joints were used throughout construction. Moreover, the designers chose to omit paint and grout on primary wall sources. The wooden floors are composed of the waste from a nearby flooring manufacturer. Click-joint polycarbonate members create the roof assembly.
"It was important to us to design the taphouse as a locally anchored building that supports the idea of a new local meeting place, said ADEPT in a statement. "The significant gables are inspired by some of the old warehouses at the harbor, which is part of making the building a natural part of the raw maritime identity.Because of the possibility of a limited lifespan for the building, we have worked with principles from ’design for disassembly’, which means that the house is constructed with only mechanical joints."
