In fact, 20,000 toothbrushes, 4,000 DVD cases, 2,000 billowing discs and two tonnes of denim offcuts accept been acclimated as insulation beyond the building. In fact, you can blink through the walls in places to see what's befitting the abode balmy (see below).
The house, advised by East Sussex flat BBM as a analysis ability and architecture branch for the University of Brighton's Faculty of Arts, sits aural the area of the University of Brighton. Duncan Baker-Brown, one of the architects, explained to Dezeen:
"It's about proving that you can body something with added people's stuff, and that you can accomplish a abiding architecture out of rubbish. There accept been a lot of added projects area humans accept congenital sheds or acting things out of rubbish, but to get abounding architecture regulations and planning approval is a first."
The architecture will be acclimated by acceptance from the university's Sustainable Architecture advance to advice them apprentice and analysis how to body houses and added articles with basal ecology impact. It will aswell serve as association center, which is appealing neat. [Dezeen]
