Top 10 Most Weird Houses In The World
Top 10 Most Weird Houses In The World
The property market can be a very confusing, expensive, and time-consuming game, with some people looking for alternative methods to living in traditional weird houses. We’ve searched high and low to compile this list of the craziest, quirkiest, and most unusual homes across the globe to see what lengths some people have gone to create their very own home sweet home. While you probably won’t find any of these weird and wonderful homes.
Listed below are some of the weirdest houses you can find from different parts of the globe:
1. Upside Down House in Trassenheide, Germany
This wacky dwelling was built in 2008 by Polish architects Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk as a tourist attraction in the north Germany town. The piece was commissioned as part of ‘The World Upside Down’ project, which allows visitors to view everyday objects from a different perspective. The interior is also fully furnished, except for it being upside down to a weird houses.
2. TreeHouse Home in Miami, Florida
Let’s face it. Hotels are totally overpriced and overrated. But with the introduction of brand new travel apps including Airbnb and CouchSurf, homeowners are letting others staying in their pads, however crazy the design might be. We can now be at one with nature and all for the reasonable cost of $61 a night.
3. The Toilet House in Suwon, South Korea
In 2007, Mayor of Suwon Sim Jae-Duk designed this bog-shaped gaff to commemorate the founding of the World Toilet Association. Honestly, Google the organzation, it’s a real thing. The building cost roughly around $1.1 million and features an amazing rooftop balcony. In some ways, that is money down the toilet in weird houses.
4. Spitbank Fort in the Solent near Portsmouth Harbour
Built back in 1861 as a sea fort containing 12-inch breech-loading guns, Spitbank Fort was declared surplus by the Ministry of Defence in 1962 and sold privately. It has since been redeveloped into a modern luxury hotel, complete with 50 rooms, a restaurant, a dance hall and a rooftop jacuzzi in weird houses.
5. H2omes in preferably somewhere with clean water
Now, I’m not entirely sure if these insane homes are the best ideas but the concept seems cool. H2omes are looking to build luxurious neighbourhoods submerged underwater at surface level. Priced at £10 million, they give you the option of choosing your sea bed location or have them choose a site for you.
6. Dupli Casa in Ludwigsburg, Germany
This property looks like it’s from a Salvador Dali piece. The distorted modern home was designed by Berlin renowned architects J.Mayer, who are known for their bizarre builds (We could probably devise a whole list dedicated to their weird and wonderful designs). The property is designed on the footprints of the property that previously resided on the location but has obviously been modified.
7. Hobbit House in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Back in 2003, Simon Dale undertook the mammoth task of building a low impact living house for him and his family. Influenced by the Lord of the Rings franchise, Dale went about building a cosy hobbit home after purchasing 7 acres of land and £3000 worth of materials. After 4 months of rigorous labour, the home was completed and it must be said, it is a sight to behold.
8. Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania
American architect Frank Lloyd Wright-designed and built this home in the late 1930s in order to observe the cascades from the waterfalls in this small Pennsylvania town. Time Magazine described the project as “the worlds most beautiful job” and is regarded as A Place to Visit Before You Die by the Smithsonian.
9. The Home of Frank Harmon in Raleigh, North Carolina
Renowned architect and university professor Frank Harmon designed this slick, Art Deco home near the East Coast. His goal was to design a modern, compact home with an abundance of light deep within a busy, university town. Its seems as though Frank most certainly reached his target.
10. S-House in Saitama, Japan
The Japanese and glass seem to go hand in hand when designing a home. Again, Japanese architects Yuusuke Karasawa offer this split level design to evoke the simplicity of layered interior design. The building has also been compared to M.C Escher’s piece ‘Relativity’.
