Build Stadium-Style Home Theatre Seating With Shipping Pallets
We’ve shared some interesting construction ideas for shipping pallets in the past, including a couch and a workspace, but this new one is easier to tackle. You can build comfortable stadium-style seating for your home theatre on the cheap. You’ll definitely need a fair amount of space to set this one up, and you’ll need about 12 pallets to form the seating and the cushions to make the pallets comfortable. They look like standard shipping pallets, but they’ve been painted to match the intended decor of the space. Plus, once they’re all assembled and attached to one another, you can slide books, magazines and DVDs into the spaces on the side for a little added storage. The whole space is definitely a little “designer chic”, what with the pallets on the wall to mount the TV and everything (not bad), but you get the general idea.

Cat Inspired Project Becomes a Unique House in Japan
This next house is a one of a kind project, that was designed by Takeshi Hosaka Architects, in Japan, for a couple and two cats. Starting from the idea that humans and cats live together, rather than cats living in a human house, the architects came up with “a house inside which you feel being outside”. The Inside Out House is made up of two volumes. The outer one houses the bedroom and bathroom boxes and above those are the living room and deck. In an area of the inner volume light, wind or even rain could enter. Moreover, living in an inside out house can be quite interesting due to the change of weather. On the other hand, when it rains you have to find the spots where you won’t get wet.This funcky house is a way to stir up ones life, make the most out of the minimal and enjoy outside features inside.

We made quite an assortment of these fun little tree ornaments… getting creative and adding buttons, scraps fo fabric, and even rows of beads. We had all of the materials around our house.
World’s Greenest? Cargo Container + Wood Pallet Homes
So many architects have begun converting cargo shipping containers into houses, apartments, offices and more – so how could you pack any more sustainability into an entirely recycled building? By adding wooden pallet walls to the exterior, of course! Container homes are more than just eco-friendly – they are cheap, quick and easy to build and transport. Likewise, recycled wood pallets are a ready source of reused material but they also provide essential shade while letting natural ventilation via the existing overlaps in their stepped wooden slats. Since both shipping containers and their smaller recycled-pallet counterparts and standardized, they work well for modular construction – predictability in size, shape and structural capacity makes these materials to built with.
Stylish Small Town House in Japan
This unusually striking townhouse is located in Kyoto, Japan. It’s not particularly eye-catching as seen from the outside and the interior is not that impressive either. However, there’s something really special about this residence, something that makes it seem very cozy and inviting, just like a home should be. The townhouse was a project by Alphaville Architects – Kentaro Takeguchi + Asako Yamamoto. The main goal was to create an enjoyable and pleasant home.
