Across the project’s development, Bleat founder Tristin Norwell became a familiar face in the Retrouvius shop and has incorporated salvaged, reclaimed, vintage and sustainable materials throughout the studio’s multifunctional editing rooms. Earlier this month he gave us the grand tour.

RE-USE IN ACTION: DOORS
Doors are one of the most commonly reused architectural salvage components.
Here we share some of our latest reclaimed finds and examples of their reuse.
Our latest stock includes panelled, fully glazed and half glazed doors. Most are in solid hardwood frames.
Oversized or non-standard size doors can make a space feel generous.
Larger panels can easily be adapted to become sliding screens or a partition.
With all door reuse, consider different hanging methods; hinged, track sliding or pivot hinging.
Glazed or half glazed internal doors can help small spaces feel lighter.
Building a frame opening to fit the salvaged door is more advantagous than finding a door to fit an existing aperture.
