TODAY I AM GOING TO PRESENT TO
YOU THIS HOUSE
INTRODUCTION
 THIS IS “BEACH HOUSE”.
 IT IS A SEAHOUSE IN NOVA
SCOTIA, CANADA MADE BY A
FIRM CALLED JD COMPOSITES.
 THE BEACH HOUSE IS MADE
FROM 600,000 RECYCLED
PLASTIC BOTTLES.
 THE PLASTIC CAME FROM
RECYCLING COMPANIES.
 The bottles were shredded, melted,
and injected with a gas that turned
them into foam. That foam was then
molded into 6-inch-thick panels,
which form the walls of the home.

 THIS IS A CROSS SECTION OF THE

WALLS OF THE HOUSE. IT CONSISTS
OF TWO LAYERS:
1. THE EXTERIOR WHICH IS THE
RECYCLED ALUMINIUM.
2. THE MIDDLE IS THE RECYCLED
PLASTIC
THE SPECIALITY OF THIS
HOUSE IS THAT IT IS
HURRICANE RESISTENT.
The panels of the house proved to be
strong enough to withstand extreme
wind force, just like that in category
5 hurricane.
