Walcot Reclamation goes into voluntary administration

Bath, UK - The recession appears to have hit Walcot Reclamation hard as they have been forced into voluntary administration. Its owners Jane and Rick Knapp said they had been fighting "a losing battle" over the past few months and had to admit defeat in their recent plans to regroup and relocate to the Bathampton site.

Viking Reclamation, South Yorkshire UK - Local South Yorkshire newspaper 'The Star' reports on a Viking invasion in the form of Viking Reclamation. Reporter Rachael Clegg comments on how owner Craig Lloyd's stocklist sounds like a museum catalogue, calling it a 'Wizard of OZ version of B&Q'. She takes a tour through their vast yard and acknowledges the wonder of architectural remnants, interiors fittings and building materials, like props from a period drama.

The pro's of predemolition audits

Wellingborough, Northamptonshire UK - The BRE have recently been commissioned to carry out a predemolition audit for Wellingborough Swimming Pool. The audit enables the local council to set demolition tender targets, implement a site waste management plan and maximise resource efficiency. ‘Using the information from the predemolition audit, we were able to exceed our targets for recycling site waste,' said Chris Pittman, Head of Policy, Partnerships and Property at the Borough Council of Wellingborough, ‘and achieve the high levels of resource efficiency we were looking for.'

Reuse of the Week:

Flotsum & Jetsam coffee table

St Kilda, Australia - The Melbourne-based architecture firm, Marcus O’Reilly Architects, have recently won the Craft Victoria Design and Innovation Award for 2009 for their coffee table. The tabletop is constructed using driftwood found on local beaches. Each piece of driftwood is trimmed to size, wire brushed, colored, waxed, and placed on a simple black steel frame. This top is unique as it is, but the wooden pieces hold their own distinction with dissimilar stamps, holes and markings.
