A compelling case for ‘upcycling’

The Owner Builder 203 October/November 2017 is on sale nationwide from 1 October 2017.

While we generally feature owner builder projects that start from the ground up, there is a compelling case for ‘upcycling’ an existing structure. In this issue, this concept is explored through the restoration of an historical building, the development of a relocatable ‘Ecomobile’ and the evolution of an ‘accidental house’ that arose from a storage container. Along with the regular assortment of inspirational projects and technical information, there is plenty to keep you entertained. See the website and Sample Issue Extract  for more details.
