Materials ConservationMaterials Conservation
Reuse:Brick: East facadeGlass: South & West FaçadeConcrete: Frame & (Garage)From the neighboring community:
• Large steel working industry
• Brick is a dominant regional building material
Existing Structure:Less modification = more reuse
Reduce:Modular: Less wasteSurface Area Configuration:
• Sphere is ideal; cube is most simple geometric form
• Complex configurations use more material per unit of volume.
• Finish materials = exposed structure
Recycled / Recyclable:
Steel 60% recycled content:• Scrap material based concept.
Example of melted guns or recycled car materials.
Housing scrap: • Recycled furniture, wood
flooring from row houses…Polyethylene, polymers & all
plastics: • (HPDE) made from recycled
materials but not recyclable• PTE: recycled nylon carpet• Styrene from recycled plastic
Organic Fabrics:• Rubber Tires
Glass & Paper:• Energy to reuse is high
Aluminum & Stainless Steel
Reduce Reuse Recycle

Goal: Carbon NeutralGoal: Carbon Neutral
Underutilized & Local:Pecan, Mesquite, Long Leaf Pine, Clay Brick
Certified:R.O. Martin:Only certified within 500 miles
Engineered:Parallam, LVL, MDF:
• Not Necessarily structural but utilized for trim & finish materials.
Underutilized, local materials, certified, engineered, smart low embodied energy
