An Entire Office Space Built Out of Wooden Shipping Pallets

Wooden shipping pallets have become life’s solutions in many ways from reconfigurable shelves to an instant railway system and design studio Hiroki Tominaga Atelier tapped into this convenient resource when designing a 164 square feet open space in Tokyo. The designers took notice of this hot commodity after noticing the wooden pallets being used to transport water to surrounding buildings and henceforth named the renovation project Shitomito Pallet. The temporary meeting space was created from 3 different types of pallets with the cheapest used to create the tiered ceiling to the most durable fitted to construct the floor. By simply screwing the pallets in, the prefabricated material could be taken down easily without any professional carpentry costs and reused for another space which earns this project a big green thumbs up.
