Reclaimed View

This project explores the potential of reclaimed materials in creating a sustainable outdoor seating area. By repurposing tiles and wood, the aim was to blend the old with the new, crafting a space that is both functional and environmentally conscious.

The design of the bench and seating area demonstrates that even small footprints can have a wider impact. By utilizing existing materials, we not only reduce waste but also breathe new life into what might otherwise be discarded. This approach underscores the idea that sustainable design can start with modest steps that lead to meaningful change.

Our design connects the past and present, integrating reclaimed materials into a new, experimental, and vivid space. The result is a dynamic environment where the textures and stories of the old materials coexist with fresh, contemporary design elements.
