You know, here at Bopp Architecture we are way into adaptive reuse. After all, it’s a big part of our current work and experience. And really, what’s more sustainable? Mostly we’re transforming underutilized buildings into swanky new digs but even the most mundane materials can be elevated to elegance. Since I see them scattered about in alleys around town I have been thinking about what to do with wood pallets.
Here’s some interesting ideas from Webecoist:

Hey Dustin – I’m a fellow architect here in Houston, Texas. We deal with a lot of adaptive reuse project. From a design and creative standpoint, adaptive reuse projects are a particular favorite of mine. Taking something old and transforming it to the culture and needs of residents today, while maintaining the character and charm of the original, its a challenge but a fun one.
I really love the pallet bookshelf!
Anyways, thanks for sharing! – Aly
