TIRE HOUSE: A house whose structural components are stacked radial tires instead of wood posts and beams.
This building method leads to uniquely strange and rounded architectural forms that give rise to some very interesting new home furnishing ideas.
The spaces inside and in between the tires are typically stuffed with packed earth, and the house is often enhanced with a stucco or clay exterior.
