The TRÆ building in Aarhus catches the eye and captures the attention of the city’s visitors—and especially that of professionals within the construction industry.

And there’s a very good reason for that.

This 14,850 m² and 78-metre-tall wooden high-rise, designed by Lendager Architects, can rightfully be called the flagship of future construction. It was designed to test new methods of reusing materials such as wood, glass, and decommissioned wind turbine blades, and stands out by using wood as the main load-bearing material.

As the name suggests, TRÆ plays a central role not only in the structure but also in the interior design. That’s where we come in.

Glazed Partition Soultions using discarded materials

To minimise the building’s carbon footprint as much as possible, the focus on reuse and upcycling extends down to the smallest detail.

DEKO is proud to have contributed to this industry-leading project with DEKO FG fully glazed partitions and, not least, doors and glazed partition solutions from our Tystø series, developed in close collaboration with a:gain.

This Tystø product is made from recycled materials, using discarded wood from the window industry and energy-optimised glass repurposed from old, discarded building windows. It’s a solution tailored to the project’s vision of creating new possibilities by applying circular construction principles.

Træ sets the standard

According to PFA, the use of wood, recycled materials, and biogenic resources has resulted in a 75% CO₂ reduction compared to traditional construction methods. As such, TRÆ leads the way in transforming future building processes and material choices.

We’re proud to have contributed to this ambitious project!
