Here emerges the heart of Stavtrup: a new focal point for sport, culture, and community. The building is strategically situated within the landscape as a natural extension of existing pathways, green spaces, and the urban fabric. The site prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists, creating a seamless integration of movement, play, and leisure within a shared public realm.

The club’s division promotion introduces new functional requirements, necessitating an upgrade of Riisvangen Stadium.

The ambition is to transform functional necessities into a catalyst for architectural and landscape enhancement, accommodating both elite sport and everyday urban life. A green stadium, open to its surroundings and firmly rooted in its historical structure.

The project is envisioned as a layered and flexible structure combining office spaces, public plazas and a restaurant. Stacked office floors are supported by a central core, while the sloping terrain activates the ground level as a public interface and encourages interaction between users.

Last week, we visited the Hyphen production facility to gain first-hand insight into the manufacturing process behind the Hyphen Board. The visit provided a deeper understanding of how biological growth, material composition and production techniques converge in the development of a regenerative board material.

Seeing the process at full scale offered valuable perspectives on the material’s potential for industrial application and its role within a future biogenic material ecosystem for the furniture and construction industries.

The Hyphen consists of 50% mycelium and 50% organic substrate made from local agricultural waste materials such as sawdust, rapeseed, flax and h**p. The material is 100% compostable and designed to emit 0 kg CO₂-eq per cubic metre.

The first phase of the development project targets applications within the furniture and interior industry, including tabletops and cabinets. The second phase explores the potential of using the Hyphen as a construction panel, thereby replacing CO₂-intensive materials in the building industry.
