We’ve posted before about land being reclaimed for urban farms.
Inhabitat is featuring an article on a home built on a reclaimed landfill. The home also features reclaimed materials. We like where this is headed…
Since the site’s former use as a landfill has resulted in poor soil quality, Shipley decided to combat this by building a home that floats above the surface, like a boat. Not only do the concrete stilts secure the house, but they also significantly lessen its impact on the land. Shipley also recycled wood salvaged from one client’s dancefloor into the frame of the Like a Houseboat, cutting costs and energy.
