Vetrazzo: Recycled Glass Surfaces by Evan Orensten
Ever think that the bottle of ale you had last night could later be used as building material? Using only recycled glass—most of which comes from curbside recycling programs—Vetrazzo brilliantly transforms repurposed glass into artful surfaces for use as countertops or tile.
A sustainable alternative to granite, quartz and other quarried stone standards, Vetrazzo's variety is just as strong and durable but easier to maintain. A mosaic-like composition, every Vetrazzo surface is unique.
Visit Vetrazzo for more info and where to buy.

Many residents—particularly those from Finland—choose to spend this period communing with nature, often in private summer homes. Finnish architects are no different. Their secondary homes are used as blank slates where they can construct their personalized visions...
