Introduction

Sustainable interior design is of importance in the modern architecture because of: • Client attention on space beauty and efficiency

• Desire for implementing customized ideas with possible environmental friendly or recycle materials

Note:

Construction industry has experienced massive changes over the years

Increasing demands for residential buildings with environmental friendly materials

Operation costs should be reduced by improving building efficiencies with sustainable

design

Solution

Green buildings with sustainable interior materials can be used as s strategy for creating

more eco-friendly buildings that are more energy efficient and healthier

Architectures and engineers are responsible for adopting designs with environmental

friendly materials

Today, green building is considered a significant factor of eminence and virtue of

environment and economy in the developed societies.

Statement of the Problem

Buildings are the number one users of natural materials and resources

Challenge in designing building with reclaimed materials that:

1. are in harmony with the environment

2. are more energy efficient in use of valuable resources

3. provide indoor spaces that are more comfortable, more productive and healthier for

their residents

4. Have integrated approach from design to construction and finish-work

Green building design includes utilization of sustainable materials for interior spaces

Any design in this field is therefore required to be supported by comprehensive study

that are originated from knowledge of reclaimed materials on how each component can

be applied individually and in harmony with the overall work

Objectives

To provides a comprehensive survey on the definitions

and concepts of green buildings and recycles materials

with application in sustainable design of interior spaces

To provide a comprehensive study that are originated

from knowledge of reclaimed materials on how each

component can be applied individually and in harmony

with the overall work

Definitions and Concepts

Green Design: is defined as the practice of creating structures

and using processes that are environmentally responsible and

resource-efficient throughout a building’s life-cycle, from

selecting site location, to design and construction, from

operational works to maintenance, deconstruction and renovation.

Sustainability design: is defined as a set of procedures that are

applied to meet the needs of the present generation without

compromising those of the future

Benefits and advantages

• Reducing energy consumption

• reduce water consumption

• Protection of ecosystems

• Improved health of occupants

• Increased productivity

Review of Literature

The adaptive reuse of existing buildings is one of the highest forms of sustainable design (Bergman, 2012;

Caroon, 2010; Gorse & Highfield, 2009; Jones, 2008; Rabun & Kelso, 2009; UNEP, 2009; Yung & Chan,

2012).

Paul et al., (2008) tested the hypothesis that green buildings have better indoor environmental quality than

conventional ones.

Impey (2008) emphasizes that traditional and historic buildings and places have always located in a

changing climate and that their flexibility or capacity to adapt must not be underestimated.

Rodwell (2007) states that cultural heritage is an essential component of promoting national identity and as a

cornerstone of sustainable development.

While, Lehmann (2012) affirms that the world’s built heritage plays an important role in the shift towards a

low carbon society.

Impey (2008) emphasizes that traditional and historic buildings and places have always located in a

changing climate and that their flexibility or capacity to adapt must not be underestimated.

Ward, (2012) discussed that the existing building stock contains a large amount of personified energy that

should not be lost through destruction . Demolition and equivalent new construction of energy-efficient

buildings require decades to equal the energy savings of rehabilitating and reusing existing buildings (TEC,

2008).

Recycle materials, sustainable design

Bamboo Room Divider:

Room partitions are multifunctional and appealingly

pleasing for decorating purposes.

They can be used to partition a room so it can be used

as two rooms, (double duty), or to provide more close

spaces within a room.

A living room or dining room space can be made

from an open-space or an isolated reflection area can

be created. It can also be used also only as

decoration, rather than just a partition.

Corners can be made softer by placing the screen

cattycorner in it or the bamboo divider can lay flat

against the wall for dramatic effect.

Bamboo Wallpaper:

Bamboo wallpaper creates a calming

environment for home and adds texture to the

walls with bamboo wallpaper. It is as tranquil

to install as other typical wallpaper. Bamboo

wall covering can add a distinctive piece to the

walls.

Bamboo Rugs (Two categories)

1. bamboo wood rugs: is used to add elements of texture to

the floor and to provide complement for the room, no

matter if a carpet exist or not, or if it is a wooden or tile

flooring.

2. bamboo fabric: The second option, bamboo fabric rugs

are designed and made from bamboo yarns. They are as

soft and as comfortable and luxuries as bamboo clothing.

These rugs are a luxury treat for occupants’ feet.

Both styles are good-looking and attractive, and they are

durable enough to take the beating of floors sustain.

Bamboo Furniture

Bamboo furniture can be used outside the coffee

tables and couch frames, they can be fashioned into

everything, from book case to stools. In fact, there

are several unique glooms to the bamboo wood that

gives the designers multiple options to select from.

Since the plant is durable and sturdy, and yet

flexible; it can be formed into a variety of shapes

and designs.

Bamboo Sink

Bamboo sink can add a histrionic effect to the

kitchen that is to be modified and remodeled by

installing this beautiful and strong sunken

sink. Hard enough to be with a crowded kitchen,

this sink can be used as a centerpiece for the kitchen,

and it is not ending there; there are multitudes of

ways that bamboo can serve for kitchen remodeling.

Reclaimed top nailed oak

With emphasis on local supplies, using domesticated woods saved

on material costs, but added a lot of time.

The floor is made of salvaged oak nail, which mixtures with the

entire home.

Variety of reclaimed wood, either as-is salvaged pieces or

machined to make a paneling with the original antique surface.
