Neu Punt Verd is a mobile recycling station- a pre-assembled structure, adaptable to different scenery. The station is composed of three different kinds of spaces; interior, intermediate, and exterior. The interior hosts an office and a restroom, whilst the intermediate holds the recycling program.
An exterior ramp with a 4 % inclination and tactile pavement ensure the accessibility of the latter. A wall stretches between the two interior spaces located at each end and centrally separates the 'recycling side', from the 'recycled side'. The structure is exclusively made of pressure-treated timber, of two dimensions: 2" 4", and 2" 6"- sometimes in a tripled sandwich, sometimes as singles. The interior program is closed by glazed surfaces, covered by a recycled bottle facade. The bottles repeat horizontally to cover the separating intermediate space. This roof is stabilized by a sequence of acrylic 'battens' to allow the transparency of the cantilever. The wall itself is covered in cor-ten sheets with themed holes to guide the user, and semitransparent polycarbonate sheets to allow instructions- and inspiring projections.
The structure as a whole is made so that the two interior volumes, the wall, and the ramp works separately and can be arranged in a different order on top of the platform, allowing the station to be flipped and mirrored to adapt to different sites.
Finally, the station is driven by solar radiation, collected on both roofs. Yet, the spaces are made to be sparse, with natural light and well-isolated floor- and roof, as well as double-glazed windows.
