Original Plumbing is a process architecture practice helping build factories and other industrial infrastructure for socially and ecologically regenerative processing operations.
We support facility operators and project delivery teams in cultivating synthesis between the demands of technical operations and the social life of their industrial projects, like equity, sustainability, cooperative ownership, and worker quality of life.
Recent past work includes :
delivering process architecture for a 300,000SF clean-room blood fractionation plant in Texas
leading design strategy for an industrial fermentation real estate platform
re-commissioning the sauna in a weimar-era German Stadtbad built to heat-share process water from an adjacent brown coal power plant
arranging a temporary dairy spa for commercial cheese makers in the foothills of the Italian alps
and hosting a sad dinner party on a dredging barge in the middle of Boston’s Mystic River, overlooking ExxonMobil’s leaking 95-acre oil terminal.
We are currently accepting founding member-owners for a geothermal electricity generation and bathing facility to be developed cooperatively in rural Bulgaria.
