Five Mile Radius
Recycled Terrazzo Tables
Photography Callie Marshall.
We love this innovative, young Queensland design studio, Five Mile Radius that is making some very cool outdoor terrazzo tables made entirely from construction waste! Apart from these great products made of natural and recycled waste material, the studio is also a sustainability consultancy.
Founded in 2016, the studio is the collaborative effort of a group of architects, tradespeople, and educators passionate about testing new ideas for Australia's built future.

Five Mile Radius uses pilot projects to prototype ideas, often turning projects into products that allow for continued experimentation. Funds generated through the Five Mile Shop are used to fuel additional materials research and create educational events and content. The studio works with both recycled and natural materials and is seen as a local leader in closed-loop thinking, waste reuse and bioclimatic design.
Dream clients include the CSIRO, local governments, arts and community organisations, philanthropic organisations, and rural communities. One day the studio hopes to operate from a bus and drive around Australia helping communities to unlock the potential of the materials around them.
