Low-Budget Recycled Homes

The challenge is enormous

To satisfy the needs of film director and artist Anna Hoover, as well as operate within the parameters of sustainability, Les Eerkes embarked on a recycled home project. The architect scavenged free materials and appliances, including plywood cladding, a tiny porthole window, kitchen cabinets and more from a site that was set to be bulldozed.

The recycled home project is a great example of architects being economical with materials. Not only is the method beneficial for the consciousness and the survival of nature, it is also extremely budget-friendly and creates the tendency to focus on necessities, rather than desires. Located in the woods, Anna Hoover's upcycled studio is bound to give the creative client a much-needed rest, as well as a break from distractions.
