He doesn't really live in it, it is just a novelty house: "The house is comfortable and it practically cost me nothing," Radovanovic said, noting that the bottles make good heat insulators. He acknowledged that he would be spending little time in the building, but explained: "In case of an earthquake, I would prefer being in this house than in a brick residence."

“Only the foundation of the property is concrete”

And the pillars, and the roof... Don’t you hate it when journalists are so ignorant they can’t identify things in their own supporting photos?!
Otherwise, a cool house. I don’t think I’d want it next to mine though.

The bottle infill for the railings is especially ugly, but I appreciate the concept.

Wonder if he has bricks in his refrigerator?

He can change the color of his house by just filling the bottles with different color stuff.

Still, it’s about the ugliest house I think I have ever seen and a huge waste of effort.

I think someone should send a photo to the “Webster” folks - the ones who publish dictionaries. The photo might be useful under the entries for “Tacky”, “Kitschy”, “trashy”, etc.

I once saw a photo of a house built from empty jars of embalming fluid. IIRC it was somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Seriously, in third world countries with warm climates, plastic bottles filled with dirt or sand would make good walls. Build a simple box frame out of 6 x 6s, and then fill in the walls with these “bricks.” The holes could be back-filled with clay, dirt, rags or paper.
