Creativity vs. waste has
given birth to the new haute trash,
an eclectic inclusion not only in one’s décor and accessorizing toolkit, but in
design and architecture per se…
Recycling trash – whether plastic bottles, damaged CDs, discarded
cloth articles, broken glass, crushed cans, tattered mattresses, old and
battered trunks or suitcases… has always held a Bohemian charm, whether as

making anew a whole room or parts thereof or as adaptive reuse architectural
projects.

Preserved masonry, open-air patios, local materials, and passive cooling strategies come together to create a serene, sustainable dwelling rooted in its context.
