The Pallet House is a uniformed space that combines the beauty of up-cycling, carpenter’s artistry and creative ideas.
There are 400 shipping pallets used to build the pallet house. juxtaposed in the most honest interpretation, the project led by Selin Maner of Selin Maner architects (SMA) takes on a very uncomplicated design proposal that combines the element of up-cycling and the surrounding environmental requirements. an epitome of up-cycling especially in the years where nature conservation efforts are of great concerns, the pallet house celebrates the simplest form with traditional carpentry using mere shipping pallets.
“The primary aim of the project was to explore the feasibility of creating a comfortable and attractive summer home, while minimising both cost and environmental impact through maximum use of recycled materials,” Selin shares. The building placement also needed to respect the on-site mastic trees, so that none were felled in the design process.
The 120m 2 building was conceived as two interlocking C-shaped volumes: one open-air, the other enclosed. This application required two different pallet types including those with gaps between their slats and those without. These two allow the designer to specifically allocate both private and public spaces in the most discreet manner. There is no sense of stark contrast seen evidently in this space. instead, a waft of quiet confidence and subtle harmony permeate throughout this one-bedroom house.
