Certainly an interesting question, but also the title to our latest award winner, the Yodgee Footwear South Melbourne Market Store !
The whole store is made out of a single material : recycled shipping pallets , and it is wholeheartedly embracing sustainability in its entirety.

The project has won three categories at the 2020 'Design Matters National' Awards : (1) Winner Special Project, (2) Winner Interior Design (Commercial) , and (3) Winner in Best Use of Recycled materials. If you'd like to see more images of this, head over to "on our Facebook page"

For this one, you'll have to speak German, unfortunately. MDS director Marc Bernstein has been interviewed about office design and Fitout, by Hannes Hilbrecht from Inperspective.

Have a read "of the interview here " and let us know if you agree with everything ;-) ... and then there's also "the background story here "

Probably more interesting for industry insiders and fellow architects and designers amongst you : Presenting at the ArchiTeam CPD session on Thursday this week.

MDS director Marc Bernstein will talk (amongst others) about "softwares architects use " and how they can help us create better buildings
