Metals broker S.J. Sherbanuk wanted to live in a shed — “a really nice shed.”

Determined to reuse and repurpose as much scrap as possible in his home, Sherbanuk and designer James Campbell created this sustainable house outside of Toronto, Ontario. It’s pretty spectacular that a home made of so much metal can appear so warm and colorful.

This was really fantastic, well I think that ScrapHouse was the creative use of previously discarded materials–most of which were destined for the landfill, often unused with the original price tags still affixed.
