YOU WANT? HOUSE MADE OF RECYCLED BOTTLES, CONTAINERS AND PALLETS?

Thinking about building your own home but you don't have enough budget. Here are some homes building ideas using up-cycled materials  like plastic bottles, glass bottles, container vans and pallets.

 This house in Mexico is made out of  glass and  plastic bottles:

Look how beautifully they have turned those plastic bottles into a decorative wall.

here is how it looked like unfinished. 

Wonder how they built it? Watch here:

And while many might be doubtful mixing cement and plastic, the next houses made from glass bottles might change your mind. We all know that glass bottles could be a good insulation and decorative too. The lay-out should not differ so much as the plastic bottle house, you simply don't need to fill the glass bottles with sand.

House made of glass bottles:

This is the Ryolite house in Nevada. It is a three bedroom house built in 1905.

Glass house in Boswell, built in 1952- is made of empty embalming fluid bottles.

Houses made from container van and trailers. The average life span of houses made from container van is 25 years but could vary depending on the topography, humidity and other factors.

This house in Boise, Idaho is made of flatbed trailer, cladded with wood from recycled pallets.

Small Practical House Designs

It is summer already in Philippines, vacation time it is.

While I love being home for vacation, that means enjoy the foods and beautiful places like beach, farms, etch. Owning a house is not in our plans right now, but if things change and we decide to repatriate we have considered some plans of owning or building our own home. 

Here are some of the cute house designs I have seen:

I like the way this house has been elevated, because flood is something that should be part of our contingency. The log style is also beautiful, but I would opt better if this could be made into concrete instead of wood. We know how termites could infest too.


Another elevated modular type house

This one is a small house, which I believe is made from recycled container van and cladded with wood. My stand with wood remains the same, this will not last for long term specially the steel footings which could easily rust due to high humidity and rain. But if you are looking for affordable home you might consider this, they said that container van has average life span of 20 years depending on other external factors. It is also earthquake proof. And  it  looks really nice.

I think this one looks perfect if you have the perfect budget. We have a small lot located in the metro and I believe this is the best type of house we could build to maximize the area and still have a small garden. The house is 2 storey with an attic, it also has lots of windows which I love.


Some really small houses you might want to consider might be one of these:






Finally I found this article about how to plan and design homes for humid zone, because one of the things I really want to proof my home is termites, rust, and mold and mildew.

Isn't these cute, houses on a wheel. Aside from movable I think it is also affordable and eco-friendly since it is made from recycled materials.
