BLOOM’s innovative approach tackles Southeast Asia’s challenge – the plastic polluting our environment – turning it into a source of happiness for tomorrow – louvers for the brand new flagship restaurant for PIZZA 4P’S.
Project Name: PIZZA 4PS
Studio Name: Bloom Architecture
Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Completed: 2022
Contractor: REDFURNESSE
Supplier: PLASTICPEOPLE
Photographer: Robert Kleiner
7.8 tons of plastic (equivalent to the annual waste of 70 persons) were collected from Milk boxes, snack bags, straws, food containers and market boxes in order to be recycled by PLASTICPEOPLE to fabricate louvers which will dress the interiors of the restaurant and shield the glass facade from sun radiation.
Expanding upon the zero waste concept from PIZZA4PS, not only did the team creatively salvage materials, a plastic recycling hub usable by all patrons will be built into the store.
Nestled at the corner of a bustling crossroad in the BKK1 district of Phnom Penh, this colorful open structure symbolizes contemporary society. Together with the owner, constructor and supplier, BLOOM developed an architecture which conveys values about using local resources and sustainability to educate the future generation in an engaging, attractive way.
