Big Dig House
The Big Dig House, by Single Speed Design in Cambridge, MA takes advantage of over 600,000lbs of reused materials, such as structural steel and road panels from the Big Dig Project. Because of the load-bearing capability of these materials, a rooftop garden was implemented into the design as well as a rainwater harvesting system. In true prefab style, the construction time was reduced immensely with the entire structural frame being built in under 2 days. The open 3,400 square foot house features an exposed structure and an abundance of natural light. For more information, check out http://www.ssdarchitecture.com/works/residential/big-dig-house/.
