House of trash - the £1,500 central London home

11Aug06trashhouse.jpgThe Times carries the fascinating story of Graham Hudson's house of trash. Hudson - an artist - had been renting in Hackney, but thought he could do better. So he blurred the distinction between domestic and work life in order to get permission to build within the grounds of the new Chelsea College of Art & Design buildings, and set to work building a house out of old rubbish and the odd piece of wood paneling, a stone's throw from the Commons. The Times's Adam Barnard brings a couple of estate agents from Douglas & Gordon, and asks them to value the £1,500 home. They like it, and value it at a quarter of a million... assuming he can meet building regs. Which he probably can't. Great piece, though. Read it here.
