Celia Olivera, a bar owner, unexpectedly built a house using bottles. Initially considering a wall, he realized he had enough bottles for an entire house. His collection includes mouthwash bottles, and even his bathroom is made of bottles. Locals find his obsession odd, but Celia prefers bottles over a frontal lobotomy.

Celia's unique home is in Brazil, showcasing creativity and resourcefulness.
