Top 10 Most Unusual Houses In The World

10. It was built due to few attempts by
the national Ministry of Housing, to
break out of the standard architectural mold. Philadelphia

9. In New Mexico a country church is seen balancing on
it’s steeple, as if it had been lifted by a
terrific force and brought to the site as
a device or method of rooting out evil
forces.

8. Daniel Czapiewski, Polish
businessman and philanthropist, built
this house as an artistic statement
about the Communist era and current
state of the world. Many tourists who
visit complain of mild seasickness and
dizziness after just a few minutes of
being in the structure.

7. One of the original ideas for Expo ‘58
was to build an upside-down version
of the Eiffel tower, however, Waterkeyn
felt that an atomic structure would be
more symbolic of the era. The
monument was originally planned to
remain standing only six months.
However, it soon became a symbol
not only of the World’s Fair, but of
modern architecture and
Brussels. The monument stayed the
same for almost 50 years. Brussels

6. A young family with two children from
Mexico City were tired living in a
conventional home and wanted to
change to one integrated to nature.
The goal of this project was to make it
feel like an internal inhabitant of a
snail, like a symbiotic dweller of a
huge fossil maternal cloister.

5. “The house was built with maximum
regard for the environment and by
reciprocation gives us a unique
opportunity to live close to nature.”
This building is one part of a low-
impact or permaculture approach to
life. This sort of life is about living in
harmony with both the natural world
and ourselves, doing things simply
and using appropriate levels of
technology. Honolulu

4. The very non-traditional design of the
Dancing house was controversial at
the time. Czech president Václav
Havel, had supported it, hoping that
the building would become a center of
cultural activity. The building includes
several offices and a French
Restaurant on the roof.

3. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is a
franchise, founded by Robert LeRoy
Ripley, which deals in bizarre events
and items so strange and unusual that
readers might question the claims.
The Believe It or Not panel proved
popular and was later adapted into a
wide variety of formats,
including radio, television, a chain
of museums, a book series and
apinball game. California

2. The Neverwas Haul represents a
reimagining of the victorian era.
Inspired by the works of Jules Verne,
the neverwas haul represents a
combination of the Victorian love of
comfort and imposition of its own
values on to the primitive landscape of
the old and new worlds and pure,
unadultered belief in the overaching
grace of technology. Paris

1. This little cute gas station was built in
1922, intended to be a reminder of the
Teapot Dome Scandal involving
President Warren G. Harding and a
federal petroleum reserve in Wyoming.
The scandal rocked the presidency of
Harding and sent Interior Secretary
Albert Fall to prison for his role in
leasing government oil reserves. The
building has a circular frame with a
conical roof, sheet metal “handle,” and
a concrete “spout.” Said to be the
oldest gas station in use in the
country, it survived partially because it
was moved years ago, to be closer to
the interstate. It is no longer in
operation.
