The Cratehouse in Yorkshire
Wednesday December 30, 2009

Who says you have to grow up? German artists Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Hörbelt took hundreds of bottle crates and perched them on a shipping container, creating a cool clubhouse in Yorkshire.



"During our visits we saw the metal shipping containers that people of Castleford use as meeting points, something like small clubhouses; one of our first ideas was to change a little this kind of architecture, to create maybe a functional pavilion with sculptural and architectural qualities as a semi-public space where people can stay together in a pleasant way and have fun together. In Germany we call those places Vereinsheim (clubhouse)."

How green of them.
