Customer Spotlight: High-Tech Meets Reclaimed 

 

When VHX, a self-described "direct-to-fan distribution platform for premium video", was ready for a new office they looked to local interior designer and Build It Green!NYC regular, Casey DeBois, for help.

 

VHX recently found a new home at an old Benjamin Moore space in Dumbo, Brooklyn and tasked Casey with transforming the space into their new office. Using  reclaimed wood and other materials sourced at the BIG!NYC warehouses, Casey designed and constructed stand-up desks, built-in shelving, and counters for VHX's various media centers.  

 

The finished product is a beautiful combination of homemade wooden surfaces and fading bricks, meeting high-tech and sleek computers and screens, giving the office a style all of its' own.

Free Screening This Saturday at Queens Library 
part of the Green Film Series presented by Queens Library
at Broadway (40-20 Broadway, Astoria 11103) 
Saturday, February 1st at 3:15pm - RSVP via Facebook 

"Trashed" is a provocative investigation of one of the fastest growing industries in North America. The garbage business. The film examines a fundamental element of modern American culture...the disposal of what our society defines as "waste." It is an issue influenced by every American, most of whom never consider the consequences. Nor, it seems, the implications to our biosphere. At times humorous, but deeply poignant, "Trashed" examines the American waste stream fast approaching a half billion tons annually.
