This waste-based interior of an entrance hall and conference room was designed for Waste AfvalVerwerking (AVR), by Fokkema & Partners Architecten and Studio architectuurMAKEN. AVR focuses on the sustainable processing of waste by turning waste into energy. This waste processing plant goes further to show that modern designs can be made out of waste and still be stylish.
100% waste-based interior for AVR
The AVR reception area in Rotterdam has been renovated and is fully furnishes with recycled materials. A minimal amount of waste was created during the renovation by reusing as many existing parts as possible. The Studio Wae rug is made from Interface’s production waste. The tiles form a large rug shape in the conference room of AVR. Luckily, the tiles can be easily clicked loose and place elsewhere in a different shape.
The client’s circular ambition made it possible to involve the producers at an early stage without the risk that the energy would be lost again in a tendering process. Collaboration has led to innovation and a 100% waste-based interior.
