austin + mergold: house in a can


image: austin + mergold

philadelphia based architects austin + mergold developed a unique concept for reusing agricultural silos for living in.
their project is dubbed a-house-in-a-can and intends to find new uses for unused silos in the us farm belt. the proposal
consists of an internal shell which would simply slip into the silo as a prefabricated element. services such as water,
plumbing and hydro can then be added in later. to demonstrate the concept austin + mergold prototyped the home
using a small tin can with a wooden insert.
