A marvelous example of ingenuity and figment of our wide imagination has been portrayed by Denis Oudendijk and Jan Körbes. Lately, they have erected a Garden home by utilizing the discarded car tyres, wadding glasses, stainless steel plates and salvage wood. This autonomous entity erected mainly on wooden structure roofed with manifold thin plates is practically a four-season serviceable house. Above and beyond it is proved to be both water and winter resistant as it is sheltered by stone wool seclusion and a pant able plastic membrane. The idea of this innovatively designed edifice came to its creators due to the obligations presented by the inhabitants of the house.

Actually the designers got to meet a couple who were expecting their second child and out of necessity were keen on raising a larger and purposeful structure enclosing spacious office area and storerooms within it. Accordingly the architects planned for smashing down the on hand structure and rebuild the house by reprocessing materials and substances. In fact, this is an ecofriendly choice of building green homes employing natural stuff without being harsh on environment and surroundings.

It’s surely an eco intellectual, kind and humane way out to utilize recycled bits and pieces for making our environment green and granting safe asylums as well to several destitute beings that are on streets living a rough life.

Gone are the days when keeping antique wood furniture was considered fashionable. Though, chairs and tables carved out of wood are considered classic but for environmental reasons it would be amoral to cut endangered forests for a mere table’s sake!

Nevertheless, you can still decorate your house with classic-looking furniture by Amy Hunting-this one recycled from wood waste and off-cuts. This way you can also become a part of the eco-savvy groups and still enjoy the wooden beauty without harming the nature any further.
 

Amy has a collection consisting of a chair, a book box and a series of 12 lamps (these lamps can be stacked one on top of the other). All of these are made by wooden patchwork sans screws & bolts. The book box has built in book stands thus making room for different sized books which can be placed randomly inside it. The box holds the books like a mother caresses her baby so you don’t have to worry about books falling out of place!
