TreehuggerTV: HauteGreen Salon, Part Three
As the salon winds down, eco-chic loft-designer Matt Gagnon walks us through his process for reusing demolition materials in order to reinvent space. Initially tasked with using newly purchased eco-materials, Gagnon calculated that there would be no way to offset the waste generated from the renovation job, so he chose to build a sculptural landfill inside the loft. 80% of potential waste was diverted by using reclaimed sheetrock to construct storage units and other items were given away or free-cycled on Craiglist. Features hostess and HauteGREEN producer Kimberly Oliver, THTV’s Simran Sethi as well as Inhabitat.com’s Jill Ferenbacher who takes us to Matt’s creative roots using recycled paper for furniture.
