Big Dig House / Single Speed Design | ArchDaily the best of Architecture The Big Dig House by Single Speed Design reutilizes materials from the Big Dig. In that aspect, it´s a remarkable example of recycling in architecture. Project description by the architects after the break. Architects: Single Speed Design Location： Lexington, MA, USA Programme： Private House Completion year： 2008 Site Area： 1,784 sqm Constructed Area： 353 sqm Photographs: Single Speed Design As a prototype building that demonstrates how infrastructural refuse can be salvaged and reused, the structural system for this 3,400sf house is comprised of steel and concrete discarded from Boston’s Big Dig utilizing over 600,000 lbs of salvaged materials from elevated portions of the now dismantled I-93 highway. These same components however are capable of carrying much higher loads than standard building materials, thus easily allowing the integration of large scale planted roof gardens.

containerbay There is growing interest in the use of shipping containers as the basis for habitable structures. These "icons of globalization" are relatively inexpensive, structurally sound and in abundant supply.
