  abstract     = {{The circular economy is a concept which has received increased interest from built environment research and industry in recent years. This study explores two circular business models of adaptive reuse and shared spaces through employing a single-case study of a former factory, refurbished to shared offices and workshops. As circular economy has been criticised for ignoring social sustainability, we engage in three different lifecycle assessments: environmental, profit, and social. The findings show that while the embodied carbon is significantly reduced, it emphasises the role of the operational phase. Findings also indicate the social aspect to be most prominent during the operational phase. The project is deemed economically sustainable. In designing a sustainable built environment, emphasis need to be put towards efficient use of existing buildings, focusing on the operational phase. The findings are particularly useful for professionals involved in refurbishment projects and curious about the sustainability impact of sharing spaces.}},
