Building a "lighthouse". Are there prefab concrete pipes with 5m dia?

[Ingenjören]

Why not a second-hand silo?

There are those who build houses from used containers....



Silas are round and bolted together from metal sheets. You choose how many rounds (height) you want, and insulation and the outer facade can be attached to the bolts. Skip a sheet here and there, and the windows are done, and a roof solution is already available....
However, I have no idea about the price level...

There is a house in Trosa that is built at 90 degrees of a circle.
Really corny the first time I saw it, you stood opposite the gable and still saw the long side.
I don't remember the size and radius, but it's crooked!
The person who installed the metal roof apparently had no problems, but the tiler who tiled the basement apparently almost went crazy.

You have to soak the tiles in water overnight so they don't become so brittle when you're bending them

What? You naturally roll them in the mangle, of course.

I know a house that is built like a doughnut:

Quick, easy, and expensive

That's when it becomes mosaic

Why not build with car tires filled with soil.
You should be able to get the tires for free and the filling material for them can probably also be obtained for free from some construction site nearby.

What fire rating do you think a wall built from tires holds?

Umeå has triangular apartment buildings, the so-called Tobleron houses.

What fire rating do you think a wall built of tires has?

The same fire rating as a house with a wooden frame after the drywall is in place, so it should not be an obstacle to use tires.
