Owners' Intent Step lightly on the land.

Goal To recycle and re-use where practical, and to minimise the use of toxic materials.

The TetraMapped process to achieve the goal

Earth Minimise embodied energy (carbon footprint of materials) by using laminated timber instead of steel girders, timber foundations instead of concrete floor, and acrylic instead of glass in some windows.

Air Separate waste into metals, plastics, untreated timber, treated timber, landfill. Send broken concrete to recycling centre and use aggregate made from recycled concrete.

Water For weather-proofing and scratch protection, re-purpose plastic packaging, election signs, old billboards.

Fire Advocate how to minimise carbon footprint, toxic materials and waste.
