Reclaimed kitchen sinks get upgraded from home accessory to city monument

I always knew that the Netherlands was cool a place, but now it has gone from cool to environmentally-savvy by housing a building that gives new meaning to the term “everything but the kitchen sink.”

Known as the Sustainable Sky Box, this towering structure located in Utrecht, Vlaardingen and Amsterdam, The Netherlands is made completely of reclaimed stainless steel kitchen sinks! It’s held together by scaffolding, some wire and multiple boards, and has apparently become the perfect place for community get-togethers and casual conversation.

Although it’s completely empty inside there’s no denying that the Sustainable Sky Box is a shining example of how recycled materials can turn into creative masterpieces. Here’s what it looks like from the inside:

And here’s a long-distance view to show you just how eco-savvy it really is:

This recycled kitchen sink structure comes from the creative minds of 2012 Architechten and designer Jeanne van Heeswijks of Jeanneworks. You can see an array of amazing structures designed by 2012 Architechten on its Flickr Photostream.
