Abstract
Currently in Port Harcourt Nigeria, there is a very huge litter problem that is trying to be tackled and in the architectural world there is the constant teaching about green architecture. In Nigeria, about three million bottles are thrown away each day and about two hundred and ninety million tyres are disposed every year. These bottles and tires are either thrown in landfills or burnt and some of them are recycled and used for various purposes. All over the world, people have used these materials and other recycled materials to create residential buildings, commercial buildings and even educational buildings; currently in Kaduna, Nigeria there is a three bedroom house made of recycled bottles. This study shows how these materials can be used for other building types outside the housing family, specifically a hotel design. These materials are mainly used in bungalow creations but in this study, we looked at how these materials can be used to span above one floor and the advantages of using these materials over concrete blocks, and other building materials.
