Meredith Moore is the founder of Ouroboros Deconstruction, Toronto’s premier deconstruction company, which aims to change the way demolition is conducted so that materials are salvaged and widely available as a resource within the local community. Ouroborous specializes in carefully taking homes apart and salvaging irreplaceable building materials, including old growth lumber, architectural finishes, and fixtures. This process ensures materials stay in the supply chain and out of the landfill. Moore studied the history of art and architecture at Brown University in Providence, RI, with an emphasis on preservation, and obtained her Masters of Interior Design from New York’s Parsons School of Design.
