Here you will not see inverted houses, castles, "doll houses" from movies and cartoons and other photos. Our selection of unusual houses of the world will also show modern trends that are unusual, but will soon become ordinary. So, here is our short list:

Trends on unusual houses in modern style



Unusual videos

Video selection of unusual houses from around the world:

If earlier, someone could surprise this house, now these projects are unlikely to call someone as unusual. Houses in modern style, and simply speaking modern houses With minimalism in exterior decoration Literally fighting for the right to be considered unusual. If earlier the individuality of the design was manifested by artistically, stucco, complex ensembles, smooth lines, etc., now the unusual design of the house is manifested in its geometry, an unexpected combination of materials (wood, glass, metal, stone), openness and spacious layout, simplification of the constructor and maximum functionality of the house. Especially for small typical buildings, modern town houses, where the struggle for each meter is hidden for the unusual design of the house. By the way, in the photo - an unusual house in Ireland, the country, where still the classics are Leprekonov's houses (stone old houses), but soon such modern buildings will become more noticeable. Therefore, it is possible that the Balcony has an Irish farmer-businessman.



Another trend for modern houses From around the world - unusual asymmetry. The photo is bright, but not the only example of the house. The world has already many similar on their abstract form of houses of various purposes: residential, commercial and even urban public buildings. It is difficult to estimate the design of such a house, on the one hand, unusually, and on the other hand, the limitations of fantasy lies in these chaotic lines, as if there was nothing more to change, except for the form ...





No, this is not photoshop, but the most unusual home in Sopot in Poland. All are familiar with the world famous houses of Gaudi, with their smooth lines and fabulous facades. Polish Zaleki architect created an equally magical house, according to the words, inspiring the drawings of the children's artist Jan Shantsone. The dancing or melting house is clearly distinguished against the background of the classical architecture of the past century of the Polish city.

Unusual houses in the form of objects of the surrounding world







What only unusual houses are not in the world. It would seem that something unusual seems to appear how this idea immediately uses the other. Sometimes the fantasy of the owners is bordered by madness and often originality becomes absurdity. What is not in the world: a house in the form of various animals, a house-piano, a house-shoe, ... egg, basket, wardrobe, soccer ball, house bath in the form of a kettle, etc. It happens that among these bizarre creations, there are very cute and extremely beautiful houses.



If you think that there are few such craftsmen in Russia, then you are deeply mistaken. An unusual elephant house in the photo is in the suburbs. Not only in cities, but the villages can be stumbled upon the most unusual and creative houses. Implementation in many projects is chromas, but they delete and fantasies do not take away our compatriots. So we wish our inventors of creative success and financial well-being, for the capital is accurately useful for the construction of the house.





The house in the form of a ship is not news, but in these projects on the photo we liked the study of details. The first unusual house amazes with a combination of new design trends with a combination of frame sailing ship. The second house is an excellent example of decoration on Halloween. Scary it turned out beautifully!






Natural themes inspires the minds of many designers and architects. Often, Ecosil is intertwined with an unusual design of the house. In this example, the photo shows not only a bright idea, but also technically difficult incarnation. Do not forget that the main thing in the house is reliable.





In the photo we see a wonderful combination unusual design Houses in the shape of a sink with a thoughtful interior. The most unusual in it is to use a stained glass window to the entire wall, so that the sunny side of the house plays from the inside with multi-colored lights. The interior inside the house in the photo is no less fabricated and beautiful.

Natural character at home



The house in the photo is not made of stone, but inside the stone, literally wounded. On the one hand the owner unusual home Saved on materials, on the other hand it is difficult for difficult and long-term work.





In semi-desert and rocky areas of California, you can find a little amazing and beautiful. Such an unusual house perfectly complements the rocky landscape with wild agaves. Inside the house also demonstrates its stone temper, but not cold. Warm lighting, hidden behind a multi-level cave ceiling, in the form of moves, creates a depth and game of light in the interior.



The most famous houses of hobbit are located in New Zealand in the town of Hobbiton, where the scenery for the film Lord of the Rings was shot. Part of the houses remained and now serves as a tourist entertainment, taking three hundred people per day.





Perhaps the most unusual home in the world of bamboo in the photo. Its design is not easy and at the height of the house and the material is striking by its art. Such a ventilated house design is suitable only for the tropical and hot place of the world.



Even in noisy megalopolis, you can meet amazing houses. Residents of the 19th floor of this house in Guangzhou in the photo are clearly loved by nature. They turned their apartment and roof in real jungle. We are not sure that it is legal, but at least some contribution to the improvement of China's ecology.



Not always the unusualness of the house is determined by his design, sometimes also the location of its location, like this cute house, standing in the middle of the River Dreka in Serbia.

Futuristic houses of the world





Futurism is a whole direction in architecture, which is based on cosmic design, the latest technology. From here and an unusual house in the form of a flying plates, as well as the concept of mini-eco-eodoma with powered solar panels and due to a wind generator. It is difficult to imagine what awaits us in the future. We hope for logic, beauty and prudence will win extravagance and pursuit of originality.


Interesting buildings and houses with unusual architecture, located in different parts of Russia:

House-egg (ul. Mashkova, Moscow)

Local calls this unusual mansion that attracts the attention of many tourists, "Faberge Egg". Despite its original shape, this building is common residential house.

The authors of the project, originally intended for Bethlehem, where the construction of a maternity hospital was planned, Sergey Tkachenko and Oleg Dubrovsky were planned. However, Israeli city planners from this bold idea refused, and the project was implemented in the center of Moscow.

House in the shape of a ship (borovy village, Kemerovo region)









It was nicknamed this house "Nikolaev Ark", since it is the brainchild of the local people's craftsman named Nikolai. According to the author, "Hut with the Edge", as he likes to call his creation, dreamed of him in a dream, after which he immediately began to build. The house has a living room, bedroom, children's, sauna, swimming pool and greenhouse. It is noteworthy that all this was built without a single drawing.

Novosibirsk Technopark









The building of an unusual form decorates Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. Two already two declared buildings work. Technopark is the center of attraction of representatives of the IT community of the capital of Siberia, as well as the owner of the "House of the Year" award in the Nomination "Information Technologies".

House of Soviets (Kaliningrad)









At the main long-term Kaliningrad - a lot of titles: "Monster", "Swipped Robot", "Sponge Bob". Locals have contradictory feelings to him, since this 28-storey height is built on almost the ruins of the Königsberg Royal Castle, which was the last location of the famous Amber Room.

Shop "Fura" (Kostroma)






The first, the only major auto parts department store original design Russia is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Kostroma car universes in the form of a wagon are made on a scale of more than 1:20.

Music Theater "White Piano" (Rostov-on-Don)









The architecture of the building, rightly considered a cultural monument, resembles an open piano. Old-timers call him a monument to the Soviet long-term, since the construction of the building stretched out at 22 years. However, this does not interfere with the temple of the arts to be one of the largest theaters of the south of Russia.

Business Center "Tver" (Tver)






Initially, the building was built in the 1980 Olympics as the Tverskaya Hotel. The 22-storey skyscraper is one of the highest buildings in the city and looks very unstable, for which the local dubbed him "wine". However, the owners assure that rumors about the shaky foundation and an invalid slope are no more than imaginary fiction.

Torn home (ul. Mokhovaya, 10, p. 1 and p. 2, Moscow)






To the Great Patriotic War, these two buildings were one house. In 1941, during one of the first air markets to Moscow, the building was seriously injured. The gap was not restored by renovating the surviving parts of the house.

Ship House (Ivanovo)






An unusual building called the local "house-ship" was built in the 1920s. A special similarity with a cruise liner House acquires in rainy weather: the 8-storey tower imitates the stern, the glass windows of the first floor visually lifts it over the ground, the balcony ribbons resemble the deck, and the pointed end of the house is the nose.

They say that in Soviet times it was enough to write in the letter Address: "City of Ivanovo, a house-ship", without the direction of the street and the rooms at the house, and it has begun to reach its addressee - this house was well familiar to the residents of the city.

House-Wall (Borovaya Street, St. Petersburg)



The house of an unusual form that creates the impression of a giant butaforia causes bewilderment among tourists. Looking at him under a certain angle, it's hard to imagine that people live in such a flat building. The house was built at the beginning of the last century on the project of the architect of the quart. By the way, there are several such houses in St. Petersburg.

White Tower (Yekaterinburg)









The tower is an unofficial symbol of a whole era. In the 1930s, this water tower was the largest in the world: its reservoir at that time was just huge. The prototypes of the White Tower are in different countries: one of them is located in China, near one of the dairy plants.

In the capital of the Urals, the White Tower is popular. The architectural festival passing in Yekaterinburg every year is named after her honor.

House in the form of the dome (Novosibirsk)









Inspired by the idea of \u200b\u200bairship, Novosibirsk artist Ivan Drykin built on his own project wooden house Dome-shaped, which immediately became a local attraction. According to him, the streamlined form of the house makes it extremely resistant to wind loads, and even in case of significant destruction, he will be able to resist.

Speaking to be honest, I can't call myself some kind of super-mega cool traveler, but for my life I have already stopped at the most different houses, hotels, hostels and guesthouses. Several times I even had to spend the night at the station or simply in the interior buse. Each trip over the options there is always a mass. But despite the huge number of proposals that can be found in the modern market, most of the hotels or hostels still remain quite a standard thing.

Including for this reason a couple of years ago, we started using AirBNB services from Tanya. On this platform, sometimes come across unusual apartments And houses for travelers. In this case, the place of the night can be a great reason to go on a journey. How do you, for example, look to live in the exhaust yurt, a house-boot or in the real castle?

About the "Moscow" past of the architect reminds one of the rooms of the hotel - "Medvezhya" (in fact, it is rented through AirBNB). Other rooms belong to other animals: Tiger symbolizes China, Kangaroo - Australia, etc. On one of the tourist sites is written that this surreal structure is used not only as a hotel, but also as a museum.

Capsule Tower in Tokyo


Location: Tokyo, Japan

Accommodates guests: 2.

Price: 171 dollars.




The most unusual home and definitely the most incomprehensible building in our ranking. Personally, I could not fully understand what's what. The historic house built in 1972 on the project of the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, consists of a huge number of small blocks - apartments, each of which, in turn, is equipped with only a spacious bed, a shower and a minimum set. kitchenware. It is believed that this building is the first example of rare architectural metabolism. On some sites, it is called an example of the country's technical ambitions and one of the characters of its time. However, from a practical point of view, this is a rather strange project. Live in such houses is unlikely very convenient. And the price of 171 dollars (!) It seems to me still a little overwhelmed for an apartment with a closet size. Okay, he would have passed the whole tower for this money. And so: 2 people, 1 night, 171 dollars. 171! Charles!!! Original announcements.

House-springboard in Oslo


Location: Oslo, Norway.

Price: 0 dollars (offered in the framework of the competition).


As a bonus, I will present here the most unusual home of Norway, to remove which now, alas, will not succeed. Some time ago Accommodation in the re-equipped ski Olympic springboard with panoramic windows And stunning views of the nearby expanses were played out in one of the competitions, who conducted the AirbnB website. In order to win the right to live in such a place - it was necessary to imagine a small (but the most original) story about why you should live in this place. At the moment, this announcement is still "hanging" on the site. But in the column the price is "zero dollars". Maybe soon this unusual house will again appear in free access? In the end, a cool idea ...
