It’s a Bird, A Plane, A House

You may or may not have seen this.  This woman has been on a number of TV shows.  She wanted to build a house…she told her architect that it should look “feminine.”  The architect came up with the idea of using an old 747.   I guess what’s more feminine than a phallus shaped hull of an airplane?  It has that certain je ne sais quois. 

This story has been all over the place, but I still think it’s an interesting story of recycling.  There are also architects using old shipping containers.  They can be cut into a ton of different configurations and it’s almost like using prefab.  What’s old is new again.
