Would you buy a cabin made from construction waste?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It started off as a rubbish idea - or an idea about what to do with rubbish - and 17 months later, it’s a architecturally-designed transportable studio cabin with, at the time of writing, a more than $5000 bid on auction website TradeMe.

The studio is the brainchild of Nine Thirty Architecture director John Hayes, who told the Waikato Times the inspiration came in the wake of seeing some neighbouring homes demolished.

Poll: Did you know this school was in Eureka?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A little-known Exclusive Brethren school is expanding its footprint and building a new administration and learning centre at their campus on Eureka Rd.

OneSchool Global has operated its Hamilton campus (formerly known as Waikato campus) at its semi-rural site in Eureka for the past 21 years and recently opened a new $5m campus in Gore, Southland.
