Found out about this house/ project in an email from Good Day at Work that has been sitting in my inbox for a while, and led to this article in the Guardian.
Look at this! How amazing is it? I love the look of that house covered in carpet tiles,
and the carpentry students did a wonderful job inside.
We got rid of hundreds of VHS tapes and boxes last year so I can relate to this. I'm not convinced it's safe to use the VHS tapes for insulation because they are full of harmful chemicals - I suppose you'd have to remove the tape from the casing first. But the boxes - yes, why not?
The headlining 20,000 toothbrushes, the Guardian tells us, 'came from a company that cleans planes after long-haul flights. This vast quantity represents the harvest of just four days'. Now that's scary...
I'm curious to know how well they will fare in the insulating quality tests.
For further details, visit the architect's website: BBM. It looks like they have already produced a lot of eco-friendly projects. There's also a list of articles where the house was featured - I just read the first one to find more pictures.
