Tito Ingenieri, from Quilmes, Argentina, claims he has spent the last 19 years collecting bottles and using them to build an environment-friendly house.
Now, we’ve seen impressive bottle-made structures before, like the
Bottle Temple of Thailand, or the
house of plastic bottles, near Iguazu Falls, but none as impressive as
Tito Ingenieri’s bottle house. I know it doesn’t look very stylish, but the man did spend almost two decades of his life working on it. During this time he collected 6 million non-returnable glass bottles, and asked his neighbors to save their bottles for him.
Mr. Ingenieri says his
unusual home also acts as an alarm, when the waters of a nearby river are rising. The southern winds blowing into the necks of the glass bottles, makes a whistling sound. He also adds that he can teach anyone who’s interested in building a
bottle house like his. If that’s you, check out his website for contact information.
