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.
