Mr. Phillips has built 14 houses that he estimates are composed of ~80% salvaged material. The goal of his Texas company, Phoenix Commotion, is to provide affordable low-income housing while reducing the huge flux of wasted material to landfills. The New York Times wrote a wonderful profile of him last September that is inspiring to read. Also, check out the slide show and his web site for more photographs of his work.
