Changlong CDA
Thai Market, Civic Avenue
Through a partnership with the Changlong Neighborhood of Da’an District and the Thai Trade and Economic Office, Reborne has transformed an under-bridge area into a vibrant gathering space using sustainable Marine debris panels. This project, incorporating both standing and reclining installations, 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, which limit its service life and require significant maintenance. Our project introduces Marine debris panels 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 village leader, aiming to create a lasting, eco-friendly space. By integrating sustainable materials into community development, we allow residents to experience the sense of care for the environment, 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 nearly four months, we worked closely with engineers and builders to overcome design challenges, ensuring that the final installation matched the intended aesthetic while meeting durability standards. This collaboration helped bridge the knowledge gap, allowing the construction team to become familiar with ocean-waste-derived panels as a sustainable material.
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 close collaboration between Reborne and the local community for a greener future.
