NTS: Wonderful Waste - Renegade Builder Reclaiming Timber

Video description from @nevertoosmall

Starting out as a builder, Robbie Neville noticed a truly shocking amount of building waste headed to landfills around Australia with no thought given to how it could be used. So he started salvaging it himself, and so began Revival Projects. A multidisciplinary practice that exclusively operates with existing materials and sustainability in mind. Building Australia’s first inner-city timber mill, repurposing entire heritage brick buildings bit by bit, and saving mountains of still useful timber from demolition projects. Repurposing it into shopfronts, apartments, houses and everything in between, Robbie and Revival projects have built a life based on pushing the building industry outside its comfort zone. They live on the cutting edge of re-use and recycling in Australia, and are one of the few practices like them around the world.
