Sustainable Rotterdam

Enviu is an international organization located in Rotterdam "for and by people with innovative business ideas that are aimed at solutions for environmental issues". In partnership with architecture firm Doll Lab and club Off_corso, they have developed an innovative and pragmatic concept bringing together sustainability and trends: a sustainable danceclub where energy is generated by dancing, the toilet flushes rainwater, and walls react on heat and sounds. For this project, Doll Lab provides expertise in structural and technical issues while Off_corso serves as platform for creative ideas. Welcome to Club Double Dee.

Rotterdam shows again its innovative spirit with this idea, demonstrating how sustainability can contribute to create value for the clubbing experience by optimizing resources. We participated in a brainstorming session and follow up meeting which gave us the opportunity to get an insiders' view on the project. The idea is just great, and the proposals from participants inspirational and most of them ready applicable in real context. Off_corso shares ownership with Nighttown, which is considering implementing the concept during the rebuilding of the club this summer.

If it happens you're in Rotterdam by July 7th, you shouldn't miss the Club Double Dee kick-of party preceded by a presentation of the concept by guests speakers. The event will include DJs, VJs, musicians, organic food and drinks producers and probably some fashion designers. More details to come this site, as we will come with updates.
