Building With Milk Crates!

We're smitten with the designs of German artists Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Hörbelt — according to Treehugger, the duo has been building milk crate buildings since 1992. Check out these inspirational structures made from crates...

 
 

• This elaborate structure is made of Jupiter crates — does anyone recognize it?
• The Cratehouse in Castleford, Yorkshire.
• Beautiful light in Cratehouse!

This is made of Jupiler (and not Jupiter) crates.
Jupiler is the most popular belgian pils in Belgium.

I should note that I do not think Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Hörbelt had anything to do with the cathedral of crates; it was on the original post that I referred to and was able to source the cratehouse to them but not the belgian jupiler building.
