Building cheap houses of an unusual material.

In the South-West of Algeria, near the city of Tindouf there wasn’t the usual house. From the outside they look like any other home, but not built of Adobe or brick, and the usual plastic bottles. The guy who builds them says that his houses are much more advantages than the neighboring buildings.

27-year-old tateh Lehbib Break (Tateh Lehbib Breica) is engaged in construction of houses from discarded plastic bottles in Algeria. The guy claims that these homes are much more resistant to extreme climatic characteristics in the region of the Sahara desert.

It is not easy to guess that it’s Windows.

Technology of construction of houses is very simple. Plastic bottles filled with sand, and then they are fastened together with concrete mortar. Given the fact that in 2015 after the long rains, many buildings were destroyed, houses from plastic bottles waterproof. In addition, the thick walls and round shape help home from bottles to withstand sand storms much better than the dwellings of Adobe.
