Recycled Architecture

Recycled things like used can, old newspaper, used bottle, etc to some people are only garbages, but to these people they becoming wonderful artworks. :D

1. Boeing HouseJo Ann Ussery, had the right idea when she bought a Boeing 727-200 and turned this retired jetliner into her new home. The house has three bedrooms, a living room/dining room, a kitchen, a laundry area and a master bathroom with a Jacuzzi. The tail of the plane is anchored in 18 inches of concrete. The nose extends past the shoreline of the lake.

2. Glass House
This house is made by reclaimed glass. The builder is unknown.

3. Cardboard House
This house is made of cardboard. Yes the same material using for cardboard box.

4. Bottle House
Every single bottle is arrange to built this house. Thousands of bottles are filled with sand and then connected together and reinforced with cement and steel.

5. Can House
Architect Richard Van Os Keuls from Silver Spring, Maryland used aluminum cans to build part of his house. The cans are washed out, flattened and then nailed to an insulated plywood wall. There are no plans to paint the surface of these very colorful cans. He likes the way they shine.

6. Newspaper House
This house was built with a purpose, to show the amount of newspaper we waste and what can be done with it. 60,000 newspapers were used to build it. Rolled up and piled up they are inserted between a wooden frame.

7. Scrap House
Some save scrap in their garage to build stuff for their homes. Others find scrap at garbage dumps and use it to build a home. This is a 700 sq ft single-family house built from salvaged scrap material. The house has furniture, a kitchen, a bathroom, two bedrooms, a deck, and a yard.
