Bottlehouse
An introduction of The Bottle House. It is more as a Chiesa. Some of the bottles are filled with various "non freezable" concoctions to add refractions of color to other bottles. When the wind blows the bottlehouse makes music. LINK: Youtube

Musical Liquor Cabinet
The cabinet, a creation of Alex Vessels and Katherine Keane for NYU's ITP Winter Show, features several compartments to store your potables. Each of these is outfitted with a switch, so that when you remove a bottle, the Swig & Jig lights up and plays a song. The best part: it's fully programmable, meaning that each drink gets its own unique accompaniment. That means, in this case, the Pogues for Jameson, Etta James for a bottle of white wine, MGMT for PBR, and so on.

Bottle Temple in Thailand
Wat Pa Maha Kaew Temple is the only temple in the world build out of glass bottles and bottle caps. It all began in 1984 when the Buddhist monks started gathering bottles to decorate their shelters. The lovely bottle art-work they created attracted more and more visitors that began donating bottles, until there were enough to build an entire building.
Translated as “Temple of Million Bottles” Wat Pa Maha Kaew is located in Siasaket province, about 370 miles northeast of Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok. There are approximately 1,5 millionglass bottles incorporated in the temple complex,that includes glass shelters, crematorium and even glass toilets.
The bottles make for a surprisingly easy to maintain building material, they let the light in and they don’t fade. The monks are still collecting glass bottles to build even more structures at Wat Pa Maha Kaew. LINK

Bottle Houses
Kaleva, Mi
The Kaleva Bottle House built by John Makinen in the 1940s with over 60,000 bottles. Most of the bottles came from Makinen's factory, the Northwestern Bottling Works. He completed the house in 1941, but died before his family moved into it. In 1980, the building was purchased by the Kaleva Historical Society, which renovated it to house the Kaleva Historical Museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
