Tire bathroom & Solar Shower

The primary building structure consists of 7’ tall walls made of packed tires. The walls follow curved patterns creating a geometrically stable shape where no buttressing is needed.

Tires are filled with the earth taken out during the excavation stage, and non-biodegradable waste. The tires are stacked in a running-bond pattern to maximize interlocking between courses.

The bathroom roof is a flat concrete slab with bamboo permanent formwork. The roof is flat not as a structural choice but a constraint due the shower water tank it needs to carry.
