A tiny house in Berlin

---

Isn´t the internet great?
I don´t eat meat, I don´t drink, I don´t smoke, I don´t use drugs (legal or illegal) and medication, but since you need at least one addiction to be able to call yourself a modern man, I chose the internet.

So today I came across a youtube video about Jan Körbes, a Dutch architect, who transformed an old grain silo into a tiny house with the help of his colleagues from Refunc, a Dutch company which does a lot of different, amazing projects involving upcycling and reusing materials in very innovative ways.

After completion in the Netherlands the silo was moved to Berlin, Germany where it found its first new home. There is the possibility that it will travel to other places in the future.
Its current home is on the lot of ZK/U (Center for Art and Urbanisation) in Moabit, Berlin, Germany, which is also an amazing project in its own right, providing living and working spaces for resident artists, community activities, etc.
Some more pictures of the silo can be found on silocity.

When you watch the news, which I don´t because I have no TV and also rarely watch TV on my laptop, you will be fed the horrors of the world, the wars, the atrocities, the suffering.

But when you search the internet you can find so many amazing projects by amazing people and while the news can break your day, those videos about all those people and their projects can make your day.

This is what the @ecotrain is all about. Telling stories about and by amazing people and their projects and thereby changing the narrative a little from doom and gloom to hope and joy, helping to make the world a better place.
