A Piece of Cleveland

APOC designs and makes high quality products out of raw materials with a local history. APOC's efforts have rescued tons of doors, floors and lumber from houses destined for the landfill.

APOC develops creative products using materials from the city of Cleveland that might otherwise be thrown away. Their products are economical, environmental, educational, and unique.

APOC designs and constructs quality furnishings and accessories out of materials reclaimed from deconstructed buildings in the Cleveland area. We work to preserve the history of these buildings by salvaging constructed materials and turning them around as functional products that tell a story.

APOC is part of a deconstruction movement in Cleveland. While they don’t deconstruct buildings, they seek out ONLY reclaimed building materials for their creations. Without a market force for the materials, there is little impetus to deconstruct houses. The city of Cleveland will demolish at least 2,000 homes a year for the foreseeable future.

As a part of Growth Ring Enterprises, APOC fills a niche in the market for reclaimed building materials, namely those in abundance. By purchasing APOC creations, you are encouraging the “recycling” of buildings. With a Re-Birth Certificate in hand, the stories of these buildings will persevere.
