您不会相信这个杂货店中有多少不同的东西re reused

当温哥华的杂货商纳达创始人布莱恩·米勒（Brianne Miller）和艾莉森·卡尔（Alison Carr）开始开设第一家商店，他知道该设计不仅仅是货架上的东西。作为无包装的杂货商，客户使用空泡菜罐和莎莎浴缸将他们购买的商品带回家，Nada的重用精神必须集成到商店的外观和感觉的方式中。

“We are big proponents of making use of things that already exist. It’s one of the best things we can do for the planet,” Miller says. “We really wanted everything we did to reflect that.”

因此，与公司的设计师一起ZAS建筑师, they began scouring the market for secondhand materials to outfit the space. At the same time, a Sears department store in the area went out of business. Suddenly the market was flooded with retail store furnishings.

ZAS Architects的Leigh Collyer说：“这最终是一场完美的风暴。”“当时他们实际上正在关门，因此他们将商店中的几乎所有东西都以非凡的价格出售 - 所有的搁置单元，所有的固定装置和陈列品。”

Just like those old pickle jars that are now holding granola or fusilli, what was once the inside of a Sears store has become the new face of Nada. Items from the Sears were used to outfit almost the entire front-of-house operation at Nada, from product racks to display tables to lights. Collyer says the deals they got at the closed Sears led to significant savings for the project. “They sold this track lighting for $5 a head, which is peanuts,” says Collyer. “We probably saved 80% on that lighting.”

米勒说，她最终走过三家不同的西尔斯商店，以寻找潜在的材料。我们走了公里，发现了很多东西，”她说。一个最喜欢的是她在空旷的购物中心的西尔斯（Sears）的空旷的三楼发现的一盒LED灯泡。通常以每灯泡15美元的价格零售，她以25美分的价格购买了它们。在整个项目中，这些节省大量加起来。她说：“这是数十万美元。”

使用的固定装置不仅仅是很多。他们最终还定义了商店的备用模块化设计及其主要是可移动的搁架单元。“一旦我们知道，我们将能够从西尔斯获得所有这些固定装置，我们将其用作设计的基础，” Collyer说。“我们研究了这些作品的美学，以及我们想如何翻新它们，然后推动了需要建造目的的作品的设计。”例如，西尔斯架子的块状金属框架变成了桌子的底部，还启发了固定散装货物箱的定制设计的单元的沙拉棒式结构。一家死去的大盒子商店的碎屑没有落入垃圾填埋场，而是成为全新业务的基础。

重复使用的物品遍布整个商店，从背面的二手步入式冰箱到构成商店结构的建筑材料。纳达（Nada）搬进了先前的两个租户，中间有一堵墙。需要将其取出，但是将其扔进垃圾填埋场与公司的精神相反。“我们正在研究，我们可以重复使用干墙，我们可以重复使用这些螺柱，可以重新使用隔热材料吗？对于所有这些事情，我们都做到了。” Collyer说。“所以它从第一步开始。”

Miller and Carr even got involved, keeping an eye out for objects and furnishings that might fit into the store. “They would spot something and send a photo and say can we use this?” Collyer says. It’s a hands-on approach Collyer says should be more common in architecture, giving clients more of a say in how their design takes shape.

When it comes to secondhand store fixtures and furnishings, there will likely be more opportunities to do just that.

“As unfortunate as it is, post-Covid or due to Covid we’re going to see more of these major retailers that are either going into bankruptcy or downsizing or consolidating stores and they’re going to have a lot of fixturing that’s available,” says Collyer. “For designers and architects, this is a gold mine.”
