Created from plastic shopping bags accumulated over a 7-year period, this two-story townhouse facade was situated on an existing foundation which was left unrealized after the last housing bubble burst in ‘08. The site sits across from two of Staten Island’s upcoming developments – the New York Wheel (disbanded in 2018) and Empire Outlets mall. Using the lowest impact construction possible, the house was backlit with solar lights and held aloft with helium balloons for a one-night installation.
