<\/a>Bio-Glass<\/a>, with its unique fabrication process, offers a cleaner look than most recycled materials. Instead of the telltale glass chunks set in a binder, it has a unique crinkly texture that somewhat resembles sea-glass.<\/p>\n It is made from pre-consumer recycled glass, post-consumer glass bottles or a combination of both, and is 100% recyclable at end of life.<\/p>\n By adding an underground extension to the tower, the spacious living areas, sunken courtyard, swimming pool and sun terrace are all out of public view.<\/p>\n The tower offers stunning panoramas of the surrounding countryside and houses 4 bedrooms in addition to the front entrance.<\/p>\n What better to use in The Round Tower\u2019s pool than a floating lounger? Here is a chaise that is constructed of reclaimed waste material from the bottle-stopper industry. Being made of cork<\/a>, the seating offers a cool feature \u2013 it floats!<\/p>\n The non-toxic chairs are made with a marine-grade adhesive and a small amount of polyurethane makes the furniture suitable for indoor or outdoor use.<\/p>\n Architects Jon Junker and Seth Grizzle<\/a> made the dog house from salvaged old windows behind the garage, together with scraps of wood from the basement and leftover cedar siding.<\/p>\n For the finishing touch, they found a sign left by a road crew and appropriated it for the dig house roof!<\/p>\n The lamps are stylish solutions for the mountains of cardboard we generate daily. Being handmade, they all vary in shape & size.<\/p>\n The lamps work with a variety of light bulbs and include energy saving LED and compact fluorescent options.<\/p>\n These eco-friendly lighting designs<\/a> share similar sustainability goals.<\/p>\n These colorful highback chairs are made from recycled NYC Subway graphics on aluminum traffic signs, champagne corks and hardware.<\/p>\n Truly street art for the home, these edgy chairs are probably best admired as such, or used as high turnover seating. I imagine a run-in with the chairs will be a painful experience\u2026<\/p>\n Ah these lighting fixtures so tug at the hearts of designers and architects!<\/p>\n We go through reams of sketch paper (or \u2018flimsy\u2019 as we call it, for obvious reasons) starting from our days at school. The sight of them connects with our core and bespeaks the essence of our trade. To upcycle the stacks of discarded flimsy is wickedly clever\u2026<\/p>\n The 11,600 structure has 12 office spaces. In addition to using recycled steel in the form of containers, green creds include a high performance building envelope, ultra-efficient HVAC, energy recovery ventilation and daylight sensing light fixtures.\u00a0 For the outside, the site is designed to reduce storm water runoff.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
