Our design:
We have been working with glass bottles and tires. Additionally we had to make our own construcktional elements. For this we used the chipboard and wooden planks to make I-beams.

As our plot was at the end of the line, we had to take into account that the weather would come in hard on our south wall, south west corner.
We desided to make the rooms on the inside of these walls wind and waterproof, but not heated. This would be the bathroom and a sleaping area. These rooms would also work as extra insulation for the rest of the house.
To deal with wind and heavy rain, the roof is tilted downwards to the southwest corner to catch the wind and the siding is a «skin» made of tires.
The bootles we desided to use on the southwall of the bathroom. It will, hopefully, give a colourful display of light in this room.
