BUT BECAUSE I’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE FOOD ON MY PLATE!
James & Mau Architecture + Infiniski = WOW! James & Mau have teamed up with eco builders Infiniski to create the most outlandishly superb dwellings. The Manifesto House in Curacavi, Chile hides a dark past, a former life that one would never pick ::::
80 per cent Re-Used, Re-Cycled , Non-Polluting Materials. Shipping Containers, Railway Tracks, Wooden Paletts, Bottles! Impressed Yet?
What sets The Infinity House apart – from other shipping container houses – is that it’s entirely adaptable, it’s modular in almost every way. Each home is tailored to the owner and their environment. Infiniski says the total cost of the project was €80,000/$US105,000.
Infiniski was founded by a cross-discipline team of entrepreneurs including architects Jaime Gaztelu and Mauricio Galeano from architectural practice James & Mau, Chilean journalist Loretxu García, and French marketing consultant Juliette Frey.
