Optoppen

High-performance studio microphones built in the UK

Building up with
timber

"Optoppen," a Dutch term translating as "topping up," refers to a construction method aimed at maximising the usable space in our cities through the addition of lightweight, low-carbon roof extensions.

Mule Studio joined the Optoppen project, funded by Built By Nature, to develop important resources and tools to help the Optoppen concept gain traction.

Web app

To help spread the idea Mule Studio created an interactive 3d web app. The app enables policy makers and developers to quickly understand the Optoppen potential for a particular site.

It estimates the additional floor area alongside important metrics such as sequestered carbon volumes and a Structural Carbon Rating Scheme (SCORS) grade.
