IMAGINE ENVELOPE EXHIBITS ON REFURBISHMENT FAIR
Last month imagine envelope took part of the refurbishment fair in Den Bosch. The three days on the fair was a good opportunity to meet new and old clients and also to adjust our services related to facade construction advise, refurbishment approaches and life cycle assesment.
We shared the booth with the Architectuurcentrale Thijs Asselbergs.

TEMPORARY REFURBISHMENT
Do we have to invest a huge amount of energy to do a refurbishment ? It all depends on the time period, imagine a solution for just a few months, therefore a more temporary solution using less material and maybe more energy to operate it will be the solution. Using this principle we can think of solutions that wrap around an old industry space to use it for some weeks and create a comfortable space, or even blow a membrane that covers all leakings of that space into the room to create a new temporary space.
