Kudos! A very creative and interesting use of recycled materials to create a personal nirvana.
Fantastic design, this doesn't look like recycled at all. I love it.
hello - I have 23 lots in Island County - Washington State - I'm thinking of 23 homes made from recycled materials - need help with the plans and architect and everything

Absolutely was sold on 'broken umbrellas'. Love it. Love this house and the concept and the values attached. Go Netherlands! 60% recycled materials on the structure, 90% on the interior. Love it. What vision. It makes me want to go to the city dump and harvest for boards, metal and glass! Built my own smelting pit and cast the metal myself from recycled steel! Okay, it`s boxy. Really boxy. Very office-building like. This would make a great office building...not so much a comfy, stylish home. Best line of the story, "Old umbrellas have been cannibalized to make delicately wiry halogen lamps." I love it and I would so do the same thing. Completely love the concept of this house in terms of the values. Design-wise...not so much. Again, it`s a great office building.
That's pretty awesome. Love the concept and application. Only down side I can see is the labor cost involved in the re-utilization of the construction material. However, it's a great demonstration of what can be done.
This is awesome! Love the design and the idea and wish that this could be a mass market approach to building homes and offices.
Very nice idea and concept. But what about the energy efficiency of the house? Is the energy consumption in low levels and how did they succeed it with recycled materials?
I love the design concept and the use of recycled/repurposed material. The boxiness of the house gives it a modern feel, and the wood strips remind me of a rain screen. If I ever have the means and way to build my own place, I would use the methods employed by the architects for the bulk of the materials. The only thing I would change is the all-white interiors; I have to have color!
great design and idea. i hope too much fuel wan't used trying to source and pickup these materials. Looks like a lot of effort.
This is exactly the type of home I think of when I am working in my photography studio. Clean lines married with recycled materials give me goosebumps. Beautiful.
The reuse of the steel and the wood is great, except for the energy intensive use of the plato process to heat treat the wood used in the envelope of the home. I'm not familiar with the sun in the Netherlands but it would seem like the big glass windows facing in every cardinal direction might be an issue with the heating and cooling of the interior. If the architects are big on reusing materials they missed an opportunity by not carrying that concept through to the interior, instead creating interior space more like a museum and less like a home.
