Witches at Garden Studios: Production Case Study

This report gives details of the extraordinary work done in planning and executing reuse as part of the workflow in a production at Garden Studios. By planning with the end in mind and seeking new uses for production assets and sets the team were able to achieve a very high reuse rate. Highlights include:

Ceiling Deconstruction and Reuse: The suspended ceiling was taken down with one tile damaged; all other tiles and the grid structure are as new and fully reusable. Wiring was preserved for re-attachment.

Walls and Windows Deconstruction: Walls and windows were fully deconstructed while skirting boards and architraves were left intact for reuse. Braces were kept as is, and 80% of screws and washers were salvaged for reuse.

Rental Equipment Preparation: Rental equipment has been prepared and is ready for collection, supporting ongoing construction activities.
