Zero Waste and Circular Solutions
Partake Collective for its flagship ghost kitchen using creative adaptive reuse of two underperforming office buildings, one constructed of heavy timber, the other of poured in place concrete. The design strategy centered on integrating the two original structures into a comprehensive, multi-use space while maximizing material reuse and generating minimal waste. The project team successfully reused 98% of the original structure, including the building façade, exterior wall assemblies, interior walls, and foundation, resulting in an embodied carbon decrease of 77% relative to new construction.
