How many bottles are needed for a house?

These earthquake-resistant houses require about 14,000 bottles each and are significantly cheaper to build. The bottles, filled with sand and tied together, create durable walls said to last up to 300 years. Quite a bit, if you think about it. They live up to four generations.
