Anyone remember the Simpson's episode where Bart and Lisa built a huge fort using shipping boxes? Well, perhaps if they had used Bloxes instead, the resulting structure would have lasted longer than one episode. Bloxes are cardboard panels that fold into a shape which gives them amazing strength for their weight. Combine a bunch of Bloxes and you can create platforms, walls, shelves, and tables. Whether you can then go ahead and melt them with a hose, like Bart and Lisa's Boxingham Palace is not clear.

Unfortunately, having worked with cardboard most of my life, large quantities attract weird little bugs and spiders. Not sure I'd want that all over my house, unless it was treated somehow, and guaranteed.
