Showhouse Harbinger


This year's showhouse at West Coast Green is a 1700 square foot, two-story home with a name: Harbinger House. (Harbinger: something that allows us to see the future; a foretelling; a symbolic event or bridge.)

Designed by the Lawrence Group, the house is composed of reused shipping containers but looks like a modernistic home one might find in any number of large cities.
The interior was designed by Ecofabulous, and the house garden and landscape by Sprout Studio and Gardens.
Constructed on the tradeshow floor, the building will be de-constructed at the end of the conference – but not until thousands of people have walked through it, photographed it, and gone home thinking about the potential of reclaimed materials in a whole new way.
