"No Time to Waste" Office is a 100-square-metre sustainable workspace located near Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok. Designed for a steel factory owner, the project reimagines waste as resource by incorporating recycled punched and laser-cut scrap metal sheets directly from the factory’s production process. These scraps—typically up to 15% of material lost during fabrication—are repurposed as both architectural and interior elements, reducing carbon emissions, raw material use, and energy consumption.
Externally, discarded metal sheets are transformed into perforated sunshade fins that double as trellises for climbing plants. This evolving façade provides 3 distinct visual phases: bare metal casting intricate shadows, a lush green veil, and seasonal blooms—each telling a story of growth and transformation. Internally, the commitment to reuse continues with custom-designed furniture crafted from scrap, including meeting tables, cabinets, stools, and floor lamp.
The project exemplifies a circular design ethos, embracing the inherent patterns and textures of industrial remnants to create a functional, adaptable, and poetic space. By creatively integrating waste into the architectural narrative, the No Time to Waste Office challenges conventional perceptions of material value and explores the potential of sustainability to drive both aesthetic and environmental innovation.
