Recycling can be fun. But then, how about picking up dump worthy stuff to make a living space? Possible. In case you are not convinced, we would like to show you Derek Diedricksen’s venture into that terrain. The 33-year old carpenter has excelled in making tiny houses from scavenged materials. And, if you are thinking of the budget, each house costs only $200 to build!
VIA with many much photos! Decoist!

Porch House, with a uniquely adaptable design and construction process, enables its inhabitants to be a partner with the environment, in a house shaped by the climate and place, where the landscape and rooms are a unified whole. Like many of our firm’s celebrated designs, the Porch House is born from the simplicity of vernacular architecture and leverages what Lake|Flato has learned over the years in terms of good design, quality, sustainability, and practicality

a great job! As we like!
Transformation of an old garage into a 250 sq. ft. fully functioning living space with a sleeping loft. The majority of the fixtures and furnishing are custom built or salvaged, refurbished and repurposed by the designer/owner and additional trades people. The original structure was raised 4 feet, and square footage was added to the original footprint for the bathroom.

Shipping container house! On Enpundit
There are countless benefits to using shipping containers in architectural design. For starters, there are loads of them, they are easily transportable, you can stack them on top of one another, they are extremely durable, and they are quite cheap (you could pick up a used container for under $1000). Besides all this, shipping containers are also green. The only thing better than great design is great design using recycled materials.
