Recycling Billboards into Modern Residential Buildings. As more and more advertising goes online and transportation conservation becomes an increasing economic and ecological concern, what is the future fate of the infamous billboard? One proposal by Front Architects suggests turning these into lofted homes – small houses to be sure, but located in some potentially fascinating places. Some of these unusually thin homes could be built in place from scratch, others could be transported to new locations or even left where they are in the urban environment.

As with so many good design projects the feasibility of this specific idea as such is not of singular or even primary importance – the concept provides a foundation for rethinking everyday urban structures, artifacts of the built environment, that we might find new and different uses for as times change. Alas, the above image is only a computer-generated overlay in a real situation. Still, what would it be like to live in somewhere so public yet also removed from the street level? All sizes | Minister's Treehouse, Crossville, TN. Hydra's Solar-Hydrogen Power Makes Clean Water From Dirty at 20,000 Gallons a Day. For the one in every eight souls around the world lacking access to pure drinking water, how about this: A solar-powered water purification system that spits out pure water, hydrogen and, just for kicks, electricity too. Could it get any better than that? The device is called Hydra, and like its many-headed mythological namesake it truly serves a multitude of purposes: As its press release notes, "imagine a single trailer-mounted device that turns scum into over 20,000 gallons of pure water a day, stores electricity better than a battery, makes medical-grade oxygen, and runs on the sun.

" That's quite enough benefits from one device, thankyouverymuch. It works on a very simple, long-understood principle: electrolysis. The products are exactly what you may expect: Oxygen to help with medical problems, electricity for any number of purposes, and pure water at a phenomenal rate. But how does Hydra compare with other systems out there that offer some of the same benefits? Old Garage turned Mini Dream Home! | Hello there! It’s been a busy week with a trip to Seattle for the Picasso exhibition and a drive out to the coast but I knew I had to share this amazing remodel with you before the week came to a close. Everyone loves good makeovers and the ones involving tiny spaces, creative design and ingenious solutions are my all time favorites! Check out how Seattle artist, designer and welder, Michelle de la Vega, created this beautiful little 250 sq. ft. haven… The before… This lonely little detached garage is just begging for some love.

The after! Isn’t it fabulous!? A cozy, light filled sleeping loft is so perfect for the space. The kitchen is well organized and accessible with open storage solutions. The rustic wood burning stove becomes sculptural in this room along with Michelle’s own art installations. The glass boxes housing pillow forms are actually a tribute to Michelle’s father. You know I am a big fan of great bathroom design and this one delivers.

Have a lovely weekend! EarthShip. Earth Friendly Home - an in ground house, off the grid. Like this article? Share it: It’s the house that love built – Woodland Home was done by a man with the help of his father-in-law, a few good friends and some passersby who couldn’t help their curiosity at this spectacular sustainable design. “Being your own architect is a lot of fun and allows you to create and enjoy something which is part of you and the land rather than, at worst, a mass-produced box designed for maximum profit and convenience of the construction industry,” says Simon Dale, the brains behind this amazing, earth friendly home. “Building from natural materials does away with producers’ profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern homes.”

Four months and 4,000 man hours later, the job was complete. Woodland Home looks like something out of a fairytale. Built right into the land, Woodland House was dug into the hillside to decrease visual impact in its natural forested surroundings. Please Leave a Comment. Featured Domes. “We were fortunate,” Steven Self, School Superintendent at Woodsboro, Texas said. “At the same time that we were doing the dome, we learned through Meridian Solar that we could apply for a solar grant with the State of Texas Comptroller.” (Continued…) Randy South, Director of South Industries, and his family have decided to build a special, family reunion dome and name it South Sawmill Lodge.

It’s located just a half-mile south of the sawmill site that Randy’s dad and granddad owned. In Marlow, Oklahoma, retirees Darrell and Jerrilyn Strube own a 50-foot-diameter, two-story Monolithic Dome home, with a 3000-square-foot living area, that successfully survived a wildfire and provided shelter before it was even finished. Named for what? The Arizona Department of Transportation says that State Highway 179, leading into Sedona, “carries millions of tourists each year through one of the most pristine and unique areas of the world.” Roger describes their dome-home as “very energy efficient.”
