A celebration of sustainability, design, and creativity, this book presents beautiful homes created from recycled and repurposed materials.
Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age, and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Considering the many options for reusing building materials,this book offers a viable alternative to using those manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book is an antidote to the unsustainable use of materials, focusing on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categories—brick, timber, metal, and a range of recycled materials—every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture. Hardcover, 272 pages.
