House of 1 billion euros (10 photos)
What increases the value of the home up to a million dollars? And how about a billion? Irish artist Frank Buckley (Frank Buckley) built his house out of 1, 4 billion cut up into small pieces euro banknotes. The award of the exclusive permission from the Central Bank of Ireland and the Buckley constructed and now lives in a house built entirely of shredded bills written off. He formed the bricks of cash 5 by 15 centimeters, each of which consists of 40-50 thousand euros. Two-bedroom house - it is an excellent exercise in the use of recycled materials as well as the Social Declaration, personal response to the housing and financial crisis that hit Ireland.
Like many of his fellow-krestyanami Buckley was the victim of national construction boom, which led to financial problems in the country, which ultimately require the assistance of the European Union. In the 200 years of the loan he received sized and 365 000 euros for the purchase of the house, despite the fact that he was at the time the unemployed person. These "mad" as he puts it, credit is what led to the financial crisis.
Faced with the need to save, the artist did the unthinkable and began to build a house, or rather the apartment of the euro banknotes in an abandoned office building in Dublin. Now the apartment consists of three rooms - bedroom, bathroom and living room with space for a gallery of his work. Each room floors are also made of banknotes. During harsh winters Irish, densely packed shredded bills, according to Buckley, as his warm, he even goes to sleep without a blanket. "Whatever may be said about the euro, it is still an excellent insulation material," says Buckley.
