Stutchbury and Pape Paper House

February 23rd, 2006


Australian architecture firm Stutchbury and Pape has developed a cardboard house which is weatherproof, collapsible, and very cheap. Assuming they use recycled cardboard, it is also somewhat sustainable, being very light, very recyclable, and resource-light.

The building can be assembled by two people over a six-hour period using appropriate scaffolding, and is transportable in a light commercial vehicle.
Reminiscent of some of Shigeru Ban’s cardboard-tube houses.

    its an absolutely beautiful design for a genius idea, hopefully when we all start conserving the environment maybe we all will live in houses made like this.

    only one question, are they waterproof?
