"Nobody knows Indian roads better"

Architect used 4.5 million Scrap Parts of Boeing 747 to make a perfect home

Earlier we introduced you with Jumbo 747-200 that was converted into a luxury hotel, now architect David Hertz has a different story to tell. He built a green house for his client, Francie Rehwald, using scrap parts from more than 230 feet long, 193 feet wide, and 60 feet tall, Boeing 747 jumbo jet. In order to make the house, the plane was cut into piece and larger parts were brought to the hills of Malibu by helicopter and crane. Plane’s wings were used to make the home’s roof, fuselage will comprise the guest house, and the cockpit windows form skylights. And making of this house was marked with herculean task of taking permission from 17 different government agencies to pull it all off and its transportation closed five highways at the night. Cost of the new plane is 200 million, but the scraps cost $35,000 and nearly 4.5 million parts of the plane were nicely used for Eco cause than left for rust to eat and finally wasted.
