Never mind Skip Hire, this is Garden Hire!
Today the TopSkips Skip Hire blog brings you the penultimate in our series of 7 skip conversions by London based Designer Oliver Bishop-Young. If you missed the story behind Olivers work, here’s where he got his inspiration:
“I saw a 1995 advert depicting a whole street throwing their ‘chintz’ furniture out and into a skip. The image revealed the potential for a skip to become a point of both material and experiential exchange within the community. From then on I submerged myself in the affairs of skips”.
The last two skip conversions we’ve highlighted have been about the ‘skip house’, Oliver Bishop-Youngs interpretation of what a home in a skip would look like from both the outside and inside. This week Oliver has completed the look by creating a skip garden.
Over to Olly:
“Many flats have no garden or outside space whatsoever. A skip can provide that space and by filling it with waste rubble and garden material you can have a vegetable patch, flower bed or lawn on your doorstep”.
And the proof’s in the pudding as they say, the photo’s below by Tomas Valenzuela show Olivers innovative way of giving your property some much needed and flexible garden space! As Oliver says: “The skip can come and go for the summer or be a permanent fixture”.
Brilliant!
You can get hold of Oliver at olly@oliverbishopyoung.co.uk and Don’t miss the final skip conversion next Wednesday, when we’ll bring something very interesting to the table!
