Ex-Cons Transform a Factory Into a Dazzling Recycled Office [Slideshow]

 

Holland-based Doepel Strijkers Architects has unveiled a striking new office building in Rotterdam. We're not sure what's more interesting about it: the fact that it was designed to astonishingly exacting environmental standards or that it was built by folks who've done time in the pokey.

The HAKA Building is a pre-war factory that Doepel Strijkers is converting into a "clean tech living lab" for eco-friendly water and energy organizations. The project is an experiment of sorts in how socially and environmentally minded architecture can benefit the region. The ultimate goal: A wasteless building.

So to cut back on energy and transportation costs, the architects sourced all their materials locally, either second-hand or from demolition sites. You've got seating made from the wood of abandoned post-war housing; a meeting room fashioned entirely out of recycled doors; and an acoustic wall created with a whopping 17,700-pound pile of old clothes. A team of (supervised) ex-cons threw it all together.

Developed in partnership with public and private groups, the HAKA building is based on a circular economic model -- the idea that everything, from labor to materials, is sourced locally, resulting in bigger payoffs for the city, both from an environmental and a financial standpoint. As a result, the whole process is being meticulously documented and measured right down to the man hours it takes to turn board doors into benches (32). The hope is that the data will inform a broader redevelopment scheme in the area, one that gives sustainability pride of place.

RIFT SUCCESS Opens Market Brand In India

RIFT SUCCESS continues its global reach as it opens its market brand in India with the addition of Amit Mehra to its staff.  India's unemployment rate is climbing and without hesitation RIFT SUCCESS jumps in to lend a hand.  "We love the work that we do and always look to expand.  This employment epidemic needs to be attacked at its core if we're ever to find an antidote," says RIFT SUCCESS CEO Junior Sanchez {LION} in a conference while flipping through resumes, "I can't believe that so many brilliant people are seeking work everywhere, but are unable to find it.  It's a travesty to know that our global economy has made it nearly impossible for not only the average Joe, but for the most experienced experts to survive." 

Amit Mehra's role as GCD - Global Communications Director will undoubtedly showcase his various skills in the global market and allow RIFT SUCCESS to extend its welcoming arms to India's unemployed population.

"I can't wait until we're holding global conferences and inviting the entire world to join us in them," says COO Jennifer Rasbach, "everyone will be able to voice their opinions, concerns, and plans of implementation to battle the unemployment problem in the world.  Amit is an addition to Team SUCCESS that expands our reach and our abilities to help the situation."
