Waste not, want not: How this London home turned offcuts into an architectural statement
Briefly

The Bethnal Green garage conversion emphasizes sustainable architecture by prominently showcasing recycled materials such as oriented strand board (OSB) and terrazzo tile offcuts. The design prioritizes function over flash, reflecting a rustic aesthetic that challenges conventional urban living. OSB, commonly hidden in homes, is left exposed, allowing its texture and composition to enhance the interior environment. This eco home is a testament to resource efficiency, using materials that are both visually striking and ethically sourced. The concept aligns with flexible spaces that adapt over time with practical and everyday materials.
