Barbara Bestor isn’t accustomed to clients looking to renovate without adding on, even if it’s converting a garage into living space. But David Weinberg and Gary Ventimiglia aren’t most clients. They’d actually downsized from a sprawling penthouse apartment in Los Angeles’s famed El Royale when they found a 1,600-square-foot, 1926 Tudor in Silver Lake.

Researchers from Flinders University’s Chalker Research Lab have developed a more sustainable alternative to making bricks by using waste products. The team used low-cost feedstocks to make lightweight but durable polymer building blocks, which can be bonded together with an adhesive-free chemical reaction. Their study tested the strength of these materials and explored ways they can be reinforced in construction.

The well-heeled residential neighbourhood was once home to Portuguese aristocracy, wealthy merchants, and perches atop one of the city’s highest hills. Its quiet, tree-lined streets are stocked with handsome, historic mansions, foreign embassies and gardens – though Carrilho da Graça’s low-rise building breaks this mould with quiet confidence.

Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
