Sustainable House Model in Alpine Tundra Made of Cardboard

Hello, I am a 7th grader and I go to Central Tree Middle School and I wanted to make a Sustainable home that would be good for the alpine tundra.The Alpine Tundra is located on mountains through the world at very high altitudes were trees can not grow.The night time temperature is most likely below freezing.The soil in the alpine tundra is well drained.The plants include:dwarf trees, tussock grass, small leafed shrubs, and heaths.The animals living in the alpine tundra are: Mammals, birds, and insects.

cardboard
scissors or knife

Hot glue or tape

Tinfoil or saran-wrap

small light

Toothpicks

Paint and paintbrush

Step number 1: (make the base) add walls and floors, tape together

Step number 2: (add on the yard)tape the cardboard to the bottom of you flooring from the outside of the house.

Step number 3:( add the roof) take two pieces of cardboard bend one in half in a roof shape and put the other on the bottom of it tape or hot glue them together, then make the sides of the roof fit the triangle of the side and tape it onto the front or back part of the roof.

Step number 4(add working windows and doors) (optional) draw where you want the doors and windows to be then cut three parts out where the door is but leave the left or right side then you should have a working door, now for the windows cut the windows out completely take a toothpick and stick it through the cardboard make sure the window isn’t too tight in the space, then stick the cardboard through the house on the top and bottom then the window will be able to spin.

Step number 5 (add outside materials) first cut the cardboard into around half inch pieces fit them to your yard you can “customize” your fence to make it have heat, solar panels, etc. To make a garden first it would be very cold to grow so you would make a greenhouse take saran-wrap or tinfoil to make the greenhouse and add a small box like cardboard structure to put it on then make a smaller cardboard box and put it inside the greenhouse for a garden ,next make a tubular shape out of cardboard for a rain barrel. You will need this because of all the snow you can shovel into there and that comes from the roof and use the water for your garden.

Step number 6: (add light) you will need to get a small light for example a fake candle you will need to put it inside of your house to make your house have light inside.

Step number 7 (paint) Add a layer of paint to your cardboard with any color of your choice.

Step number 8 (you may also use solar panels) cut out squares of cardboard and hot glue or tape onto the roof.

This model can be used because if you are interested or looking to see how you could put houses in harsh weather and how they would hold up.It can also help it you are looking to see how we can progress houses in the future and technology for smart homes.I have also added paint and some grass as cloth.
