Farglory Construction Waste Upcycling Project 4.0

scroll

In the workspaces of Farglory employees,
waste materials and differing opinions have combined
to create upcycled furniture sparked by inspiration.

The same clash has now moved beyond Farglory’s walls,and revealed itself in a public space—the first-floor lobby.

Finding the hidden details in pieces of furniture is like a treasure hunt, rousing endless curiosity.

Waste is cut, melted, and ultimately fused into a translucent forest.

The delivery counter that makes you ask “to put or not to put?”

A first-floor lobby waiting to be reinterpreted
How can “vitality” be expressed
without using new resources?

Through the prudence of Farglory employees, the imagination of designers, and the persistence of construction crews,
the process was one of conflict and compromise.

After the clash, they decided to flip the wall tiles,

letting the raw texture of the materials open up infinite possibilities.

The result was an rustic depiction of nature’s landscapes—

wall tiles transformed into mountain scenery, floor seams into rivers,

and scattered dice-like chairs as a metaphor for the construction industry’s mining activities.

This wall represents Farglory’s resolve to not seek new resources from nature this time,

but to search for answers within existing materials with a deep respect for the natural world,

and the sparks that emerged along the way are the most genuine expression of vitality.

Mosaic artist Tsou Hsiao-wei

Material source:

Granite removed from stairwells, recycled marble and granite, reclaimed wood, recycled glass, regenerated boards, recycled copper sheets.

Material features:

Previously used as flooring or wall finishes in stairwells and public spaces, some of these materials were leftover waste from past renovations.

As part of a project themed around “vitality” and “sustainability,” with art embodying the imagery of mountains, forests, and light, artist Tsou Hsiao-wei’s Mountain was made by reassembling existing stone materials (flipped to expose their reverse side) and various recycled materials into a landscape mural symbolizing a mountain. Recycled glass suggests the shifting light and shadows of mountain streams, while reclaimed wood and copper sheets evoke trees and fleeting glimpses of birds in flight. The overall work resembles a silent journey through nature, infusing forest scenery into the interior of urban architecture.
