The coolest houses in the world. The most unusual house designs in the world (67 photos). Domes For The World, Indonesia
Every New Year For more than thirty years now, we have been enjoying watching the wonderful comedy “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!” Fate played a trick on the hero, throwing him into another city, but the street was the same, the houses, apartments, and even the keys matched!
You and I live in such averageness and sameness, but there are people who do not want to live like puzzles. And they build their own houses, unlike any other.
Tallest tree house
Tree houses are built not only by children for entertainment, but also by adults in order to create a fairly comfortable home in them. One of these houses was built by environmentalists in 2004 and became the tallest tree house. 
This house was located on the island of Tasmania at an altitude of at least two hundred feet from the ground and consisted of two platforms. The record-breaking house had a kitchen and shower. For five months, six people lived in it, thus attracting the attention of the world community to deforestation and development in Australia. Nowadays, the tallest tree house does not exist.
"Dancing" house in Prague
The “dancing” house, erected in the historical part of Prague, is completely out of touch with the surrounding landscape. It consists of two cylindrical towers, one of which is symmetrical and regular, and the second is curved so that it may seem that the building is dancing. It has long been recognized as one of the most original architectural creations in the deconstructivist style. 
"Dancing" house - project of architects Vlado Milunich and Frank Gehry
Unusual transparent house
A unique transparent house was built in Japan. The project was developed by architect Su Fujimoto, who, using transparent walls, strives to create a house that unites all neighbors. He named his building House NA. Its total area is only fifty-five square meters. The rooms in the apartments are located on platforms of different heights. 
The advantage of such a transparent house is the abundance of light in it. The downside is the same transparency, because it is almost impossible to hide from prying eyes in it. At night, the walls of the house are closed with blinds, making the inhabitants invisible to everyone watching them from the outside. It's fair to say that House NA is not the only transparent house in the world. Many countries can boast of their transparent building designs.
"Crooked House"
In 2004, in the Polish city of Sopot, an unusual house with a fantastic appearance was built, which later received the name “Crooked House”. His project was created by the Swedish artist Per Dahlberg, inspired by the fairy tales of Jan Marcin Szanser. He planned to give the building a fabulous look. It should be noted that he managed to bring his plans to life. 
“Crooked House” is very popular on the Internet. Participating in the Great Dreamers competition, Crooked House was named the best architectural project. Numerous tourists seek to take photographs as a souvenir against the backdrop of such an unusual structure. Today it is located shopping mall with many shops, cafes and bars.
House "Piano with Violin" in China
The building is located in the Chinese city of Huainan. It is made in the shape of a violin leaning against a piano. The transparent string instrument is the original entrance to the building; this is where the escalator for ascending to the “grand piano” is located. 
This is a collaboration between students from Hefei University of Technology and designers from Huainan Fangkai Decoration Project Co. Experts have provided night illumination, which makes the landmark a decoration of the city not only during the daytime.
"Sutyagin's House"
We also know about Russian unusual houses. One of them was in Arkhangelsk. We are talking about the “House of Sutyagin”, which was built from wood using ancient technology. 
Unfortunately, “Sutyagin’s House” was never completed. Its owner was arrested, and after serving his sentence he no longer had the financial ability to continue construction.
The height of this thirteen-story wooden structure was forty-five meters. Eyewitnesses say that being on the thirteenth floor, one could see the White Sea. During construction, the owner of the house planned to enter it into the Guinness Book of Records. Unfortunately, the unfinished record-breaking house was lost. In 2008, by court decision, it was reduced to 4 floors (the construction of taller private houses must have permission), and in 2012 the building was destroyed by fire (a neighbor’s bathhouse caught fire).

Unusual “Basket House”
In America, in Ohio, there is a house that resembles a huge monument to a wicker basket. In fact, this house is the office of the Longaberger company, specializing in the production of baskets and other wicker products. The building was built by order of this company. About thirty million dollars were spent on this construction. 
Thanks to such an original appearance of the house, the company practically does not need additional advertising, because the “Basket House” is a real attraction that everyone knows about.
Amazing "Cactus House"
A house similar to a cactus was built in Holland in the city of Rotterdam. Wanting to bring people closer to nature, the architects created a project for a house that was later included in the top ten “greenest” skyscrapers. The house has been compared to a cactus due to its open terraces. 
The unique 19-storey building contains ninety-eight apartments. The balconies of each of them are semicircular in shape, so that the plants growing on them are illuminated from all sides. Externally, these balconies resemble large improvised steps, as if screwing upward like a spiral. “Cactus House” is a real decoration of Rotterdam.
"Brutal" house of Moshe Safdie
Architect Moshe Safdie built a residential complex in Montreal from 354 concrete cubes, randomly stacked on top of each other. There are 146 apartments in this area. This style is called “brutalism”. 
Theater-Museum of Salvador Dali
There is a large collection of Dali's works here. The artist devoted 10 years of his life to creating this house. 
"House of the Flintstones"
Every fan of the cartoon "The Flintstones" knows about the building built in Malibu on the shore Pacific Ocean"House of the Flintstones." As you know, cartoon characters live in prehistoric times. Thanks to the work of the architects, the house turned out to be cozy and comfortable, although inside it gives the impression that you are in a Neolithic cave. 
The owner of this unusual house- the cave is Dick Clark, a TV presenter from the USA. Together with his wife, he decided to put his house up for sale, and the price was three and a half million dollars. Now everyone has the opportunity to live in a house built in a cave style and recreating the interior of a popular cartoon.
"House-Stone"
An unusual house built literally in stone is located in Portugal near the town of Fafe. It also somewhat resembles the home of prehistoric people from the cartoon “The Flintstones”. This house was built in 1973 by Victor Rodriguez in the mountains between two huge boulders. The purpose of creating this fabulous home was to find a place where you could retire and relax with your family away from civilization. Surprisingly, according to the site, not one of the most expensive houses in Russia was included in the list of the most unusual buildings.

Top 10 most unusual houses in the world
House. Everyone sees the same building differently. For some, a house is primarily a home, for others it is the purchase of a lifetime, for architects and builders it is even a job. Every home is unique and no two are exactly alike. But there are buildings from which it is difficult to take your eyes off. These buildings attract and fascinate, are memorable and never leave your mind, breaking all the usual stereotypes about architectural solutions. Yes, these are the ten most unusual houses in the world. Are you ready to learn a little story about each of them? Then let's get started quickly.
10. Stone House (Portugal)
Remember the fairy tale about the three little pigs? So, a Portuguese craftsman named Victor Rodriguez brought the idea of Naf-Naf to life and built his home literally in stone. The man took two cobblestones as the basis for his mansion (they act as walls), while the rest (improvised door, windows and roof) was made by hand by the master. Rodriguez's main argument in building such an extravagant house was privacy away from people. To be fair, it turned out to be an ideal option. However, unfortunately for the Portuguese, his home began to attract many tourists. There were so many curious people that poor fellow Victor had to move out - to this moment the house is empty.
9. Crooked House (Poland)
This unusual building located in the Polish town of Sopot. In appearance, the house seems to be drunk: it is barely holding on and is about to literally spill down the street. This is precisely the effect that the architects of the extraordinary building sought, using optical illusion as the basis for the construction. In fact, the house is more than stable, and you certainly shouldn’t be afraid of its collapse. The crooked house has been successfully existing for 14 years. It houses entertainment venues, a restaurant and retail shops. In addition, two studios of local radio stations are located here. Getting an office or pavilion in such a house is an excellent marketing ploy. At the very least, the client will definitely not go wrong with the building.
8. House-planet of Sheikh Hamad (UAE)
No wonder they say that the rich have their own quirks. For example, Sheikh Hamad from the UAE owns seven cars in seven colors of the rainbow for every day of the week. However, this is not Hamad’s most spectacular “trick”. The sheikh is the owner of a very extraordinary home. He has at his disposal a mobile home in the shape of... Earth. Yes, yes, this giant globe has absolutely all the conditions for a comfortable stay. What can we say if in this ball with a height of 12 and a diameter of 20 meters there are as many as 6 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. The fruit of the sheikh's imagination was noticed by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records, and in 1993 the planet house was recognized as the most extraordinary building in the world.
7. Sutyagin House (Russia)
Let’s say right away that you won’t be able to look at the world’s first wooden skyscraper with your own eyes. Despite the impressive height of the house of 38 meters (that's approximately 13 floors), the fate of the building went downward from the very beginning. First, its owner, businessman Nikolai Sutyagin, was arrested, and construction was frozen. And upon completion of the construction of the failed record holder (the house could seriously lay claim to a world achievement, since it was built without a single nail), the building was completely declared illegal. In 2008, by court decision, the skyscraper was “shortened” to 4 floors, and 4 years later the remaining part of the building burned down. This is such a ridiculous story. However, exactly the same epithet can be used to describe the appearance of Sutyagin’s house. It's a strange building, you'll agree.
6. Madhouse (Vietnam)
No, no, we are not talking about a mental hospital (although it is an unusual house). In 1990, the Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga opened one of the most unusual hotels in the world. The building is made in the form of an ancient tree with decorations in the form of giant animals, mushrooms and caves. A huge artificial web adds to the effect. The first visitors were so impressed by Dang's design solution that they opened their mouths and literally shouted the phrase “madhouse.” The architect, in turn, was impressed by the reaction of the citizens, and since then the hotel has been called that. By the way, the Vietnamese themselves are quite skeptical about the building and often avoid it.
5. Upside Down House Szymbark (Poland)
In general, the village of Szymbark, in Poland, is full of attractions. Residents have tried hard to attract the attention of tourists to this area. The world's longest table-board, fishing pond and historical Museum- all this is great, but clearly inferior in effectiveness to the main feature of Szymbark. We are talking about a house upside down in the literal sense of the word. Both outside and inside, everything is turned 180 degrees: furniture is attached to the ceiling, lamps stick out from the floor, TVs are screwed in reverse, and even the windows are curtained upside down. It is noteworthy that in such a house orientation is instantly lost - visitors soon begin to feel dizzy. To keep people from going crazy and keeping themselves in good shape, glasses of water are placed all over the floor (or ceiling?).
4. Hole House (USA)
And here there is no time for illusions and optical illusions. Everything is real - both the house and the hole. The history of this fascinating building dates back to 2005, when Texas authorities ordered one of the houses to be demolished. Having learned about this, two young artists, without a second thought, made an unusual tunnel inside the building. They planned to show the resulting art object to the public just as long as the house would last until demolition. To the surprise of the guys, the hole-in-the-wall house they created grew in popularity, so quickly that in the allotted hour X for the bulldozer to arrive, the building became a real asset for local residents and tourists. The authorities refused to demolish the house, and Texas is now famous not only for legends about cowboys.
3. Flying saucer in Moscow (Russia)
Another building of an unusual configuration from Russia. The “Flying Saucer” is located in Moscow Tekstilshchiki and at one time was the building of the AZLK Museum (Moskvich cars). It seems that I didn’t want to compare “UFO” with the sad famous house Sutyagin, these buildings have too much in common. It is still unclear why the designers chose the “plate”, because the building does not look very impressive. During the functioning of the museum, completely unique exhibits of cars were exhibited here, preserved in a single copy. However, fate decreed that today there is no longer either a plant or a museum. The building is empty, and in the offices there are probably conversations about its possible demolition.
2. Ideal Palace of Ferdinand Cheval (France)
Almost all the objects of our current interest were built by professional architects, engineers, or at least people who have a sufficient understanding of this matter. All but one. The so-called ideal palace was built by a simple postman named Ferdinand Cheval. The building amazes with its beauty and variety of styles: here you can find figures of people and animals, various towers and fountains, as well as columns and stairs. However, what is most striking is the fact that Ferdinand had nothing to do with architecture. The postman carefully collected stones while performing his main job. It took Cheval 33 years to build the miracle palace.
1. Bookshelf (USA)
Everything ingenious is simple. Most likely, this was the principle that guided the architects who worked on the construction of the library in Kansas City. After all, the idea of making the facade of a building in the form of books is extremely naive, but at the same time, damn it, it hits the bull’s eye! Visually, the front wall of the library is a gigantic shelf on which about two dozen books are located. Moreover, the “bindings” are drawn in such detail that for a moment you can feel like a midget who finds himself in a library. In general, such an original approach to the design of a reading room deservedly occupies a leading position in our rating.
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thank you for that
that you are discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and goosebumps.

Designed and built by F2 Architecture, this home overlooks the Great Ocean Road in Australia. Its unusual location guarantees visitors breathtaking views and perhaps a fear of heights.
The Pole House is built at an altitude of 40 meters, on a very steep slope, which clearly presented a problem. And the architects came up with the most intriguing solution. They created a concrete platform on a pylon 13 meters high and placed the house on top of it. However, this gave rise to another problem - the lack of convenient access to the home. To solve this problem, the architects built a narrow concrete bridge that connects the house to the hill.
19. Steel House, USA

7. H2ome - anywhere with clean sea water
This crazy house may not be the most innovative idea, but the concept seems cool. US Submarines Structures aims to build luxury submersible dwellings. Access to the house is possible from coastline on the private pier and down the central elevator or spiral staircase.
One such sea house will cost 10 million pounds sterling. However, this is so, a small thing compared to. For this price you also get the opportunity to choose a suitable location on the seabed for construction.
6. Dupli.Casa, Germany

5. Hobbit House, Northern Ireland

2.Dr. Seuss House, USA
This strange and whimsical house stands 12 stories tall and looks like it came straight out of a fantasy book. The building, located in Alaska, sat dormant for several years before a local resident took ownership of it. But we're not entirely sure whether he'll keep all those floors.
1. Shark Attack Home, England
The most ordinary house in the world, a huge shark just flew past and decided to say hello to the inhabitants of the house. Yes, right through the roof. These migratory sharks are so awkward!
The building is owned by writer and BBC radio presenter Bill Heine. We don’t know what prompted him to order this particular design, but we do know that this house with a 7-meter fiberglass shark carcass immediately became a local landmark.
