Spinn

Project description

Spinn is located at Site 4016 in Stavanger, a regional hub for development of knowledge and innovation in the construction sector. It is a 3,000 square meter building dating back to the 1980s and the aim of this renovation is to achieve a circularity of 60% according to FutureBuilt’s index. New circular business models are being tested and the project is building on the developer’s and partners’ previous experience with reusing building components.

The project is relatively small in scale, but significant because of the number of similar buildings that are due to be rehabilitated in the coming years. It is divided into three phases, where everything that can be reused - from both the developer’s own and donor buildings - is being taken care of throughout the process.  Phase one included work on the existing structure and renovation of the façade, replacing windows, ventilation and opening the atrium. The interiors are the focus of Phase two, tailoring spaces to individual tenants while incorporating reused materials such as ceilings, glass and ventilation systems. The last phase will include outdoors spaces and will begin in the spring of 2026. 

Site 4016 is part of the EU project NEB-STAR. Different social processes and activities are being tested out in collaboration with students planning to work with construction and property. This gives young people insight into circular processes, and the industry strengthens its contact with future professionals.
