Thai Market, Civic Avenue
Through a partnership with the Changlong neighborhood in Da'an District and the Thai Trade and Economic Office, Reborne has transformed an under-bridge area into a vibrant gathering space using sustainable ocean-waste panels. This project, incorporating both standing and reclining structures, offers an eco-friendly, durable alternative to traditional wood finishes commonly used in public infrastructure.
Addressing Common Challenges in Public Infrastructure
Traditional public works often rely on wood for aesthetic purposes, but wood is susceptible to temperature, humidity, and climate changes, requiring high maintenance and limited durability. Our project introduces ocean-waste materials that are water-resistant, weatherproof, non-toxic, and easy to install, addressing these issues while promoting sustainability.
Building a Sustainable Community
This project began as an idea from the local community leader, aiming to create a lasting, eco-friendly space. By integrating sustainable materials into community development, we allow residents to experience the lasting impact of eco-conscious design, reminiscent of the satisfaction of seeing a clean beach after a cleanup. Our collaboration with the construction team involved detailed design discussions, adjustments, and testing to replace traditional wood with durable, recycled materials.
Paving the Way for Sustainable Materials in Public Works
For the Reborne team, this project wasn’t just about material installation; it was about introducing a new, sustainable approach to public spaces. Over four months, we worked closely with engineers and builders to overcome design challenges, ensuring that the final installation matched the intended aesthetic while meeting rigorous durability standards. This collaboration helped bridge the knowledge gap, showing the value of ocean-waste materials in sustainable construction.
A Space of Culture, Nature, and Community
This transformed public space now serves as a symbol of cultural exchange, resilience, and harmony, standing strong through all seasons. It reflects both the beauty of sustainable design and the spirit of a community united for a greener future.
