10 Houses Made of Strange Materials

By Queuebot in Architecture on Aug 7, 2009 at 6:13 am

It seems like all the new houses in my area are covered in stucco. I got to wondering, what else are houses made of, besides wood and brick? Well, now that’s nifty has 10 unique examples.

I saw a show on TV the other day, about this little town in Arizona, where everyone builds these houses out of tires, and they are almost entirely self sufficient. This got me wondering about what other types of housing material has been used. I found some pretty neat stuff.

A house made of trash. I guess no one will really notice that your house is messy, since it’s made of garbage.
