In fact, upon building the Upcycle House, Lendager Arkitekter found they&#8217;d achieved an 86 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions related to construction when compared to a standard house.<\/p>\n<p>And the pollution reduction hardly came at the cost of luxury. Rather than looking like a hodgepodge of discarded goods, the four-bedroom house appears strikingly modern in design, and even features a greenhouse just off an open-concept kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>On top of all that, the whole project was finished with a budget of $175,000, which made it a practical effort financially as well.<\/p>\n<p>After completion, those behind the project were left with a simple question: why don&#8217;t building codes dictate that a certain percentage of materials used need to be recycled?<\/p>\n<p>When looking at what&#8217;s been achieved with the Upcycle House, it seems likes a valid question indeed.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/inhabitat.com\/upcycle-house-lendager-arkitekter-unveils-incredible-house-made-entirely-from-recycled-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inhabitat<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/458245\/upcycle-house-lendager-arkitekter\/\" target=\"_blank\">ArchDaily\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Urban Planet is a roundup of blogs from around the world dealing specifically with urban environments.
