"...spectacular structures created
from recycled materials" — Kirkus Reviews
REDUX
Designs That Reuse, Recycle, and Reveal
redux (rē′ duks)
adj. brought back, restored, revived
In varying shades of green, Redux features stunning homes that look great and do good.
Roberts has assembled a collection of living spaces that span the spectrum
of reuse, from places where the recycling story is behind the walls to homes that wear their salvage on their sleeves.
Many are eco-sensitive renovations of old or not-so-old
houses. Some are green adaptations of buildings or other structures not originally intended to house people. Still others
are brand-new homes built with reused materials, from salvaged airplane flaps to abandoned shipping containers to discarded
billboards.
Complete with practical tips and helpful resources, Redux offers a host of solutions for
creating a green home with recycled, reused and environmentally healthy materials.
Whether you are remodeling, redecorating or building from the ground up, you’ll find that today’s
ecological design is diverse, ranging from cutting edge to traditional, from subtle to in-your-face, from city apartments
to suburban dwellings to rural retreats.
