The Tweed Heads Warehouse project is an office and warehouse fit out built almost entirely from local reclaimed materials. This low-budget project was constructed from pine stud seconds, recycled hardwood, deadstock plywood, Laminex packing sheets, recycled fire pipe, and factory offcuts of Ampelite. Curtains were made from Full Circle Fibres cotton. Uptex acoustic sheets made by Upparel from compressed textile waste.
This smart, low-budget warehouse fitout demonstrates how much can be achieved with inventiveness and commitment to a sustainability agenda. By working closely with carpenters and reusing as many elements as possible, the team minimised waste and created a space that feels both efficient and characterful.
Materials were sourced resourcefully, not just to save money but also to support the project’s strong sustainability goals. Everything was chosen with disassembly and reuse in mind. It’s a small space with big ideas about how to build better with less.
As a rapidly growing business with a small team, we required an open plan office that encouraged collaboration while still providing staff with their own spacious work stations. The minimalist design allows the space to feel bright and airy, with the use of wood and recycled corrugated sheeting referencing our Brand’s key design features. Operating with a very tight budget, Dan transformed the space from an uninspired commercial office into a unique custom built space to house the Business and Pleasure Co Australian team.
