A lot of people think of wood pallets as disposable junk, but these reusable workhorses can do a lot more than you might think, sometimes resulting in amazing eco-friendly projects that are surprisingly stylish. Take a look at this beach cabana, for one example. Designer David Guarino reclaimed pallets to create virtually the entire structure, from the planter-box exterior to the lounge chairs on the deck.

The cabana is located in Japan, on Morito Beach in Hayama. Local artisans helped construct the two-story structure, which features a book store, shop, showers and bathroom facilities. The upper deck functions as a lounge and cafe terrace. The whole thing can be closed up , hiding the doors and windows.
