Discarded Toys-Created Homes

Architecture studio Wallmakers introduces its latest design project in the form of the Toy Storey home located in Kerala, India. It boasts a circular design with sustainable efforts rooted in its wall construction that uses discarded toys in the area as materials. The walls are curved and perforated with the integration of Mangalore tiles and toys that open up for natural lighting and ventilation throughout the home.

Founder of the studio, Vinu Daniel speaks about the design concept to Dezeen, stating "The main concept of Toy Storey revolves around the idea of using discarded toys and effectively conveying a message through this. By repurposing around 6,200 discarded toys, the residence in Kerala becomes a living monument to nostalgia and childhood, while addressing environmental concerns."
