Construction began in June in Kaduna, Nigeria. Development Association for Renewable Energies (DARE) with support from London-based African Community Trust has built a two-bedroom bungalow completely out of plastic bottles. It’s earthquake resistant, bullet proof and fire proof. It also stays at 64 degrees fahrenheit throughout the entire year!

How did they do this?

There’s no shortage of plastic bottles on our streets. So they were gathered, filled with sand and linked together by a network of string. The bottles were then laid and packed down with a combo of mud and cement making them stronger than cinder blocks.

Below are pictures of the house during construction.

DARE and African Community Trust hope to roll out more of these plastic bottle houses to help with the housing shortage and remove filth from the streets. Is this amazing or what?
