This building is made with old doors and windows but still look good

Old doors and windows, antique wooden columns and metal drainpipes give this house in Mumbai an aesthetic its architects claim is inspired by the ramshackle buildings found throughout the city

Local studio S+PS Architects designed Collage House to accommodate four generations of the same family. It is located on top of a hill overlooking Mumbai, and is arranged in a traditional Indian style around a central courtyard to avoid unwanted overlooking from neighbouring buildings.

The architects were influenced by the ad-hoc building typologies that many of the city's inhabitants construct using found materials. This prompted them to used salvaged materials in their design, helping to promote an alternative approach to recycling.
