Hi @eco-alex,
I figure the earthbag or cob and glass bottles can be used for internal walls... not sure if there will be any... because the external brick walls seem to be in place.
So I wanted to ask if these materials could be used for the roof too?

you can surely use earthbag for external load bearing walls.. and glass bottles provided they dont touch and there is at least a few inches of cob or concrete between them..
making an earthbag roof is totally an option but only for round walls.. so that might not work for you as this building looks square.. unless you knock it down !
U would need to knock down what is there to ise earthbag though.. which isn’t much by the looks of it!
