CRAZY ARCHITECTURAL STYLES YOU WON'T BELIEVE A home is a place where one can feel safe and comfy. The creators of our featured unique homes made sure to take it one step further, designing these houses to both make a statement, and provide a welcoming environment their owners can call home.
Here's a look at some of the most unique, strange, and bizarre homes from around the world. KERET HOUSE | POLAND  archdaily.com Built between two existing structures from two historical epochs, the narrow infill is more of an art installation that reacts to the past and present of Warsaw. Although the semi-transparent, windowless structure’s widest point measures only 122 centimeters, its naturally lit interior doesn’t seem nearly as claustrophobic as one would think.  archdaily.com  archdaily.com  archdaily.com HOBBIT HOUSE | WALES  simondale.net With exquisite design, a charming interior and extremely sustainable materials, the Hobbit House of Wales is regarded as one of the most eco-friendly structures in the world. Designer and builder Simon Dale built the structure in four months with the help of his father-in-law, friends, and only £3000 (about $3,600). The house's design has a skylight for natural light in the day, solar panels for electricity, water that comes from a nearby spring, a fridge that is cooled from underground air, and a composting toilet.  simondale.net  simondale.net
TRANSPARENT HOUSE | TOKYO, JAPAN  mymodernmet.com Built by Sou Fujimoto Architects, this 914 sq. foot home offers plenty of daylight but absolutely no privacy. He was inspired by our ancestors who inhabited trees. "The life lived and the moments experienced in this space is a contemporary adaptation of the richness once experienced by our ancient predecessors," Sou Fujimoto explains.  mymodernmet.com  mymodernmet.com  mymodernmet.com
FLINTSTONES HOUSE | MALIBU, CALIFORNIA  HomeDesignLover.com This amazing home came from the mind of architect Phillip Jon Brown who wanted to build a home that looked like a rock formation to match the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area, which it neighbors. Although the house looks like it's made from heavy materials, it's actually built using light materials combined with concrete. The one bedroom, two bath home includes modern appliances despite retaining a pre-historic Fred Flintstone's look.  HomeDesignLover.com  HomeDesignLover.com  HomeDesignLover.com
GIANT SEASHELL HOUSE | MEXICO CITY  TheMindCircle.com This unusual and beautiful shell-shaped home was designed by architect Javier Senosiain, who created the house for a young family who wanted a unique house integrated in nature. The home is dominated by smooth surfaces, natural paintings and spiral stairs that makes it feel like you're living within a giant psychedelic mollusk shell.

UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE TRASSENHEIDE, GERMANY  AtlasObscura.com Polish architects Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk built this topsy-turvy abode to give visitors a different view of everyday things. Built on a six percent incline, the Trassenheide house's interiors and exteriors allow visitors to feel sufficiently disoriented. Sofas, tables, potted plants, paintings, and even the curtains are inverted and make you feel as if gravity got confused on this tiny piece of land in Germany.
