I think I've heard there are concerns about recycled rubber off-gassing, but otherwise I think it's a really cool idea as well. The sculpted-looking exterior gets bonus points for style.

Perhaps, but they're old tires, not new. Most of the outgassing happened years ago. But these structure are designed to regulate temperature with constant airflow. If there are any fumes, they're going outside.
