I’d never of thought <A rel="you could" href="" target="_blank" id="lx3" class="lx-link-style2">you could</A> build a multi-story house out of cardboard but that’s exactly what Col James of Stutchbury and Pape architects has done. It just goes to show what can be achieved when you think outside the box :).
<SPAN id="more-584"></SPAN>
The cardboard house will come in a kit (imagine what you can make with the packaging) and is made up of 100% recycled goods, the majority of which being cardboard. The leads to a very cheap and environmentally friendly house. I can see houses like this being really useful in times of dire need as a mean of emergency accommodation.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20060224/cardboard-houses/"><P><IMG alt="Inside Cardboard House" src="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-images/inside.jpg" />
The house is obviously water proof (who wants to live in a soggy mulch), and cleverly stores water in bladders underneath the floor which gives the structure a bit of weight.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html" href="http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.housesofthefuture.com.au</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.housesofthefuture.com.au/img/A43669F8-E868-4F37-AE51-B589E727EF98" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.housesofthefuture.com.au/img/76BC6B0B-5DD6-42B7-8D9C-AC4046033F9E" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.housesofthefuture.com.au/img/1E1C02E6-80C5-4559-A88F-5B234E2C6232" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.housesofthefuture.com.au/hof_houses04.html">The Carboard House is made of recycled carboard supplied by <A target="_blank" href="http://www.visy.com.au">Visy
