The name says it all: "ScrapHouse" a green demonstration home built entirely of salvaged material on Civic Center Plaza adjacent to San Francisco City Hall. ScrapHouse was a unique example of reuse in the greatest sense of the term. An array of materials--collected from salvage yards, dumps, or collected from waste piles at active construction sites--was temporarily transformed into an one-bedroom demonstration house. Scraphouse demonstrates that materials that are thrown away, or considered to be junk, still have an effective life-span. One person’s trash is someone else’s treasure.
