#bottle house

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Here's an unusual home built in 1968 in Tucson, Arizona. It is insulated by thousands of glass bottles, that give it a colorful glow inside. It has 3bds, 3ba, and is priced at $432,500.

A large entrance foyer leads into the living room. The walls have clear glass bottles with amber glass arches.

The walls that aren't made of bottles are made of stones. The ceiling is whitewashed wood with log beams. The floors vary throughout the home. Note the freestyle fireplace and the platform that the sofa cushion is on.

This is a very large space.

Quite a deep fireplace.

The dining room has interesting cabinetry- it's made of saguaro cactus.

It appears that this handmade table will convey.

The eat-in kitchen is spacious and has regular cabinetry, but the walls are both stone and glass bottles. Pretty clear ones form arched windows over the sink.

The home has unusual rooms, nooks, and passages like this area.

One of the nooks is a home office. The rectangle in the wall above the desk must be a decorative feature. The ceiling is fabric.

The primary bedroom is very large and features a fireplace with patterned brick walls accented with bottles.

It has a long built-in sofa and the walls are made of green and amber bottles.

The bed is on a platform and that's the large bath on the right.

This is some stone bath. Don't slip in here, the walls will knock you out.

Look at all the walls in the garden.

There's also a guest cottage on the property.

This is interesting.

There are 2 bedrooms with platforms for the beds.

Not sure what this is.

A separate bath house serves as the 3rd bathroom.

Not sure, but I think he guards the bath house.

There's also an outdoor kitchen and several covered outdoor spaces. Love this handmade pool table.

It doesn't have a garage, but it has a double car port.

If you like the desert, the cacti garden is quite lovely and the property measures 2.53 acres.

A one-of-a-kind house made from thousands of glass bottles is up for grabs in Arizona.

(Actually not so one-of-a-kind. I was a kid in the 60s/70s, and back then there were a lot of hand-built houses made from bottles, old tires, wood from collapsed barns, etc. Unfortunately, most haven't survived.)

From the New York Post:

If these walls could talk, they’d keep it bottled up. 

A one-of-a-kind Arizona property built from glass bottles — doubling as a work of art — has hit the market for $432,500. 

The Tucson home dates back to the 1960s, when a couple named Theodore and Meletis Bryson, inspired by the ruins of ancient human societies, decided to construct a carport built of refuse that would blend with its desert surrounds. 

That was just the beginning — the Brysons went on to build an entire custom house out of bottles and rock, collected over the course of years, Coldwell Banker Realty agent Holly Greenhalgh, who holds the listing, told The Post. 

“Ted Bryson feels a kinship with the engineer who designed and built the massive stone pyramids of Egypt,” a news outlet stated back at the time the couple first built the house.

“The ancient builders had no fancy tools and neither did Ted Bryson, who longed to visit the pyramids and the ruins of the Mayan and Incan civilizations in Central and South America,” a reporter said.

Bryson, who went on to sell the locally-famous property in the 1980s, has since passed away — although not before visiting the aforementioned ruins, as he’d long dreamed.

Now, his art piece of a homestead is looking for a new caretaker. 

Highlights of the bespoke abode include a hidden room above a reading alcove (now closed off, Greenhalgh noted), two accessible reading alcoves, a wood-beamed ceiling, arched passageways, concrete and flagstone flooring, built-in concrete furniture and a total of three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,700 square feet. 

There is also a guest cottage, adjacent to which there is an outdoor kitchen and workshop, boasting a full-size, custom cement-cast pool table. 

The bottles in the walls, the listing notes, are nestled between stones, casting a colorful glow throughout.

I want to be extremely explicit here- sending anon hate to anyone for any reason is shameful. Yes that includes "defending" another user. That is not how you handle any situation here. If you have a problem with someone else, you either use your fucking name, or you block them and move on. I have been on this god forsaken hellsite since 2012 and have managed to never once send anon hate. Every fight I've ever picked has been right here in the light of day with my name attached because I don't hit people who can't hit back. Every person not worth my time has just been blocked. If you're going on anon to send nastygrams, you're a coward who knows you a) shouldn't be saying what you're saying and b) knows you can't handle the consequences for being an asshole. Get it together. You're embarrassing the rest of us trying to curate our experiences like responsible members of society.
