FOYER GALLERY
Our client aimed to establish a captivating, semi-permanent gallery space within their head office. The purpose? To keep colleagues well-informed about ongoing and future building-wide renovations, upcoming events, and vital communications; anticipating a roughly three-year tenure.
With this in mind, Morally Made designed with a lifecycle first approach identifying that the structure built could have a second life as shelving upon completion of the building works.
The material palette was restricted by the foyer surroundings and high polished finish, using the existing light wall as the leading design cue, Morally Made executed an extruded aluminium system, a durable and premium solution, designed for effortless reconfiguration into future furniture and displays at the end of tenure.
Investing time in meticulous planning and design to ensure minimal waste, all aluminium and acrylic was cut precisely, resulting in very low waste.
Unavoidable waste from packaging was conscientiously recycled, with a significant proportion donated to a London University for research.
While aluminium production is carbon-intensive, this multifaceted approach guarantees prolonged use, optimising the product's life cycle. All acrylic came from 100% recycled sources and is even in its second use, still 100% recyclable. 95% of the artwork was printed on cardboard, avoiding the waste and negative impact caused by commonly used unsustainable signage.
Estimated carbon footprint of this project: 6.2 tonnes of C02, measured to manage our environmental contributions and to demonstrate the importance of designing this solution with its next use front of mind ensuring that the lifecycle of the material is prolonged minimising the need for the introduction of further raw material.
CARBON IMPACT
We tracked our direct vehicle mileage & weights, energy usage and used global standards to estimated the carbon impact of all the materials and additional products we used in order to estimate our direct carbon emissions in connection to delivering this project.
