DryStack is a material solution developed in response to the increasing demand for sustainable and circular building practices. The system focuses on transforming how bricks are used and reused within the construction industry, aligning with principles of modularity, material efficiency, and lifecycle extension.

Material Concept
At its core, DryStack is a system that enables bricks to be assembled and disassembled without the use of mortar, or reduced use of mortar if desired. This design facilitates the reuse of bricks multiple times over their lifespan, significantly reducing construction waste. The bricks are mechanically stacked, allowing for straightforward disassembly, contributing to a more flexible and adaptive built environment.

Components and Processing
DryStack operates through a coordinated process involving several material-focused steps:

  • Selection of Bricks
    Clients receive guidance in selecting appropriate brick types for their specific projects. DryStack collaborates with a network of manufacturers and material specialists to support tailored material choices.
  • Product Preparation
    Once selected, the bricks undergo necessary adjustments—such as cutting or grooving—to integrate with the DryStack system. These modifications are essential for ensuring mechanical compatibility on-site.
  • On-site Application
    The prepared bricks are delivered and assembled using trained contractors or via training programmes provided by DryStack. The dry stacking method not only eliminates the need for mortar but also simplifies the construction process, offering time and cost efficiencies.
