Completion of Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce Catalyst Center

  On Thursday, August 21st, the Catalyst Center at the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce made its official debut to a crowd of over 200. The week before the grand opening, our GreenBy3 team was busy refining all the individual elements into the cohesive final design.  The purpose of the Catalyst Center – to create a unique, inspiring space that caters to the needs of entrepreneurs and the goals of the Chamber of Commerce – was the guiding vision for the design and execution of the project, and our team has stuck closely to that from start to finish. The results are a space that our clients love, that their clients love, and of which we are proud.  Sustainability is one of the guiding principles in GreenBy3’s business model and it is something we bring to all of our client projects, often in the form of custom furniture and accent pieces made from lovingly reclaimed materials.

Presenting the Tiny Office

GreenBy3’s Tiny Office, a project that has been in the works since 2011, was slated to make its debut last Saturday in Hendersonville, SC as part of ECO’s 7th annual Green Homes and Edible Gardens Tour. The Tiny Office was first conceived in March of 2011. Inspired by the Tiny Homes movement, it was intended to serve as an educational tool, a satellite office for use at project sites and, in the event of a hurricane evacuation, a business continuity plan. A team of 10 employees, interns and volunteers spent about three years designing and building the Tiny Office. Consistent with GreenBy3’s style, the Tiny Office was built from 95% reclaimed materials. It sits 16′ tall and 8′ wide atop a Bobcat trailer and features a rainwater catchment system, a GreenBy3-built Humanure toilet and foot pump-powered, rain-fed sink and will soon be equipped to run off solar power. The Tiny Office has been a labor of love for GreenBy3, and wasn’t without its share of unique obstacles. In fact, just hours before its...
