Reincarnating McMansions
What if a McMansion was pulled down and rebuilt—using all the materials in different ways— into two or three other houses or apartments? The idea of this fascinating project, 'Reincarnated McMansion', is to find an existing but worn out, big, poorly designed and built house, and an owner who wants a big change in their life. The house will be pulled down and redeveloped, recycling the materials from the McMansion into two or three modern environmentally sound houses or apartments on the same site.
