Ever-evolving since 2008, The House that Kevin Built at University of Brighton has morphed into a home constructed entirely of free and recycled materials.


Based on an inexpensive, low carbon footprint home constructed in six days by designer/lecturer/TV personality/UofB grad Kevin McCloud - he's the Kevin - the current incarnation of the continually updating project incorporates everything from straw-filled panels to scrap from a nearby building site. Innovative techniques include partial off-site prefabrication using diverse materials like paper, straw, tins, glass and earth. Cost: low. Sustainability: high. Via Archinect.
