Bangkok built a modern unusual house in the shape of an elephant. A Thai architect, thanks to his love for elephants, designed a luxurious office building, but so that it would not be “lost” among other modern buildings of the same type, he gave the house the shape of an elephant. Long-legged towers, an eye-shaped window and a tusk-shaped balcony set the building apart from other structures of the metropolis.
UNUSUAL HOUSES OF THE WORLD

The amazing house - cactus in the Netherlands. The architect likes nature very much. It is a green skyscraper. It has got 19 floors, 98 rooms. It's a building which cleans the air in Rotterdam.
Amazing "Cactus House"
A cactus-like house was built in the Netherlands in the city of Rotterdam. Wanting to bring a person closer to nature, the architects created a project for a house that later entered the top ten "greenest" skyscrapers. The house has been compared to a cactus because of the green open terraces. The unique 19-storey building has ninety-eight apartments. The balconies of each of them are semicircular, thanks to which the plants growing on them are illuminated from all sides. Outwardly, these balconies resemble large improvised steps, as if screwed up like a spiral. "Cactus House" is a real decoration of the part of the city in which it is located.
Purpose: for what purpose do people build such houses?
The houses also like dancing.
Why are they dancing?
The architects of the Dancing House drew inspiration from the dances of the famous Hollywood duo -
Ginger
Rogers
and Fred
Astera
. So one of the main attractions of the Czech capital became the architectural embodiment of dance, hence the second name of the building - “
Ginger
and Fred. Walking around the Czech capital, it's hard not to notice one remarkable structure - a "drunk" and too modern office building for a somewhat gothic-looking capital.
Hypothesis
Who creates such houses?
Are they creative or crazy people?
Or may be they are aliens?
The original book-house is in Kansas
It is the house of central library. For its foundation the population chose their favorite authors and books.
This unusual house "part-time" is also the Central Library of Kansas. Probably, if all libraries were built in such a design, then they would not have a shortage of readers. Residents of the city were asked to help pick up the most famous books that are somehow connected with the name of Kansas City. These publications have been incorporated into the innovative design of the Central City Library to encourage visits.

"Dancing House" in Prague. It was designed by the famous deconstructionist Frank Gehry. Its other name is "Ginger and Fred", and this house can really be considered an architectural metaphor for the legendary Broadway dancing couple. The glass part of the building facing the street symbolizes Ginger in a flowing dress, and the part turned towards the river (a gentleman in a top hat) symbolizes Fred. Giant concrete pillars set far away from the structure itself are the "hem" of Ginger's skirt, spread out across the pavement. The Broadway atmosphere is enhanced by the dancing and hopping windows, reminiscent of Mondrian's Broadway Boogie.

Robot House in Bangkok. It houses the Bank of Asia. Made up of several parallelepipeds, from a distance it really does look like a giant robot.

Every New Year for more than thirty years we have been watching the wonderful comedy "Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" with pleasure. Fate played a trick on the hero, throwing him into another city, but the street was the same, and the houses, and apartments, and even the keys came up!
We 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 anything else.
tallest tree house
Tree houses are built not only by children for entertainment, but also by adults in order to equip them with a fairly comfortable home. One of these houses in 2004 was built by environmentalists and became the tallest tree house. 
This house was on the island of Tasmania at a height of at least two hundred feet from the ground and consisted of 2 platforms. The record-breaking house had a kitchen and a shower. For five months, six people lived in it, thus attracting the attention of the world community to the deforestation and development of Australia. Now the tallest tree house does not exist.
"Dancing" house in Prague
The "dancing" house, erected in the historical part of Prague, is absolutely knocked out of the surrounding landscape. It consists of two cylindrical towers, one of which is symmetrical and regular, and the other is curved so that it might seem that the building started to dance. It has long been recognized as one of the most original architectural creations in the deconstructivist style.

Unusual transparent house
Unique transparent house built in Japan. The project was developed by the architect Su Fujimoto, who uses transparent walls to create a house that unites all neighbors. He called his building House NA. Its total area is only fifty-five square meters. The rooms in the apartments are located on uneven platforms. 
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 all those watching them from the outside. It is fair to say that House NA is not the only transparent house in the world. Many countries can boast of their designs of transparent buildings.
"Crooked house"
In 2004, an unusual fantastic-looking house was built in the Polish city of Sopot, later called the 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 plan to life. 
On the Internet, "Crooked House" is very popular. Participating in the competition "Great Dreamers", "Crooked House" was named the best architectural project. Numerous tourists seek to be photographed against the backdrop of such an unusual structure. Today it houses a shopping center 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 form of a violin leaning against a piano. A transparent stringed instrument is the original entrance to the building; it is here that the escalator for going up to the "piano" is located. 
This is a collaboration between students from Hefei University of Technology and designers from Huainan Fangkai Decoration Project Co. Specialists have provided night illumination, which makes the attraction an adornment of the city not only in the daytime.
"Sutyagin's House"
It is also known about Russian unusual houses. One of them was in Arkhangelsk. We are talking about the "Sutyagin's House", which was built of wood according to the old technology. 
Unfortunately, the "Sutyagin House" was not completed to the end. Its owner was arrested, and after serving the term, he no longer had the financial opportunity 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 house-record holder has been lost. In 2008, by a court decision, it was reduced to 4 floors (there must be a permit for the construction of higher private houses), and in 2012 the building was destroyed by fire (the neighbor's bath caught fire).

Unusual "House-basket"
In America, in the state of Ohio, there is a house that resembles a huge monument to a wicker basket. In fact, this is a house that is the office of the Longaberger company, which specializes 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 cactus-like house was built in the Netherlands in the city of Rotterdam. Wanting to bring a person closer to nature, the architects created a project for a house that later entered the top ten "greenest" skyscrapers. The house has been compared to a cactus because of the open terraces. 
The unique 19-storey building has ninety-eight apartments. The balconies of each of them are semicircular, thanks to which the plants growing on them are illuminated from all sides. Outwardly, these balconies resemble large improvised steps, as if screwed up 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 array. This style is called "brutalism". 
Theater-Museum of Salvador Dali
Here is a large collection of Dali's works. The artist devoted 10 years of his life to the creation of this house. 
"House of the Flintstones"
Every fan of the cartoon "The Flintstones" knows about the "Flintstone House" built in Malibu on the Pacific coast. 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 you get the impression that you are in a Neolithic cave. 
The owner of this unusual cave house is Dick Clark, a TV presenter from the USA. Together with his wife, he decided to put his house up for sale, while 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.
"Stone House"
An unusual house built literally in stone is located in Portugal near the town of Fafe. It also somewhat resembles the dwelling 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 is to find a place where you could retire and relax with your family away from civilization. Surprisingly, according to the site, none of the most expensive houses in Russia has made it to the list of the most unusual buildings.

Hello our dear readers. In modern cities, sometimes there are so many identical houses - entire blocks. And this view is not at all happy. But suddenly, among this grayness, the most unusual houses of the world flash by. Made of wood, brick, stone, one-story and several floors, round, square, and such original shapes that you wonder.
Crooked house in Poland
The house was built according to the fairy tales of Jan Marchin. This is truly a fabulous house. So it seems that now the mouth-entrance will open and say something unusual. And around the day and night the turbulent life boils. Inside the building on the ground floor is a shopping center. Imagine how briskly trade is going on in it, if a lot of tourists, having taken a selfie, go inside for souvenirs. On the second floor, popular radio stations are constantly broadcasting.
Palace of Ferdinand Cheval in France
Surprisingly, this unusually beautiful building was brought to life by an ordinary postman without an architectural and construction education. The house is built of stones, cement and wire. And in such a mixture of styles, every tourist from East and West will find a piece of their own culture. Ferdinand loved his brainchild so much that he expressed a desire to bury himself in it.
But he was refused (strange, because this is his house) and then he quickly built a crypt next to his palace and in the same style. There the famous postman of France calmed down.
portuguese stone house
It is really a solid, huge stone lying on a mountain. A creation of nature, into which an ordinary person seemed to breathe life. The house was built between two boulders. It has two floors, absolutely suitable for life, but no one has been living here for a long time, because the huge influx of tourists simply does not allow you to relax in this secluded place.
"Planet" for a sheikh in the UAE
An interesting and unusual house was built for Sheikh Hamad. Round shape and painted like a globe. Initially, the house was built for convenience when traveling through the desert of the state - it has 4 floors, several bathrooms and bedrooms. And the building has wheels. Imagine, a lone 12-meter globe is rolling across the vast desert! Not himself, of course, hitched to the tractor. But the sight is unusual.
House of Nikolai Sutyagin in Russia
This wooden 13-storey house was built in Arkhangelsk from boards and timber without nails at all, as the distant ancestors of the Slavs built. From the last floor you could see the White Sea. But, unfortunately, the owner never completed the house. It turns out that private multi-storey residential buildings should not exceed nine floors.
And at the direction of the authorities, the top was demolished, but the house was still not completed. Very sorry! But apparently the building was not destined to "live" even like this, because in 2012 the house burned down completely.
"Flying saucer" in Moscow
Another of the building masterpieces built in Russia is the Moscow registry office, which looks like a plate of aliens. As they say: “Marriages are made in heaven”, so in this registry office lovers are registered “under the clouds”. The wedding palace has two halls: one is on the ground, at the foot of the bridge, and the other is suspended at a height of 100 meters. The upper hall can accommodate about 600 guests. So you can sign on a grand scale and "in heaven."
