DIY Inspiration: Building With Old Car Parts

Posted by Dan Gould

Jan 29, 2012

The Berkeley, California-based Leger Wanaselja Architecture firm has created a novel structure entirely out of used car parts. Instead of calling in a San-Francisco carpenter, Karl Wanaselja built his "Part-thenon" shed DIY style using automobile components like skylights, hoods and windshields.

 

This unusual shed is not only extremely green because of the use of reclaimed materials, but is stable and water tight enough to be used occasionally as a guest house.

 

Have you ever used an unusual material in a DIY project? Let us know in the comments!
