Thus, the Symbol of Rotterdam is amazing houses-cubes installed at an angle of 45 degrees. The originally looking, they are mounted in hexagon bases and raised above the ground. It is curious that the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating avant-garde structures belongs to the administration, which has conceived to build residential premises over the bridge.

Local architect Blom, who received an order in the 80s of the last century, combined them into the air village and turned at an angle. He gave the will of his fantasy, creating a unique "city in the city", which became well known for his peculiar design. The creative architect embodied the idea that cozy villages should be cozy - the quiet oasis for tenants, where there is a private courtyard, playground and shops.

Avangantard architectural complex

The cubic house made of cement and wood is standing on a high support and deployed at an angle in such a way that three sides are drawn to the sky, and the remaining three to the ground. Roofs 38 structures painted in gray and snow-white color so that the buildings from afar resembled mountain peaks. From a bird's eye view, this design looks like a huge children's puzzle.

Inside avant-garde houses are the same unique apartments in the form of which is about 100 meters 2, but all space is not used under housing from behind the corner between the floor and the walls. A cubic house in Rotterdam is very popular among tourists Place. For a fee, you can see what is inside it, and evaluate the fancy of life in such a strange complex.

House where it is difficult to spend a lot of time

When it comes to the most unusual homes, it is impossible not to mention the so-called buildings - "flippers", the fashion for which came from the United States. These are mainly exciting attractions created to attract tourists. To visit such a strange room and make interesting photos It is possible for several hundred rubles. However, the avid travelers have already seen in different countries the unusual house looking into the sky, which architects erected as a symbol of our world convergent.

In Poland, Capevski businessman 10 years ago ordered a project of such a "flutter" with the roof lying on Earth, which became a real bait for tourists. In a small shimbark, located near Gdansk, there is an inverted house, in which it is difficult to spend a lot of time, because the head begins to spin, and the brain does not accept a new reality. It is for this reason that he was built not a few weeks, and more than three months.

Visitors come in wooden house, inverted at 180 degrees, through a small attic window, and then, carefully lavaging among the chandeliers, go to walk through the rooms. By the way, there is a legend that the customer of the project wanted to use an inverted house as his own housing, and now the local attraction is attracted to foreign guests from all over the world who want to be easily like a ceiling.

Fabulous House in Sopot

It is in Poland that the famous construction, recognized as the best in 2004, has a popular "curve" house, which has become part of the shopping center appeared in Sopot. The original building was designed by illustrations to fairy tales and surreal paintings.

It seems that the "curved" house in Poland melted in the sun and lost the former outlines. And some tourists initially believe in the optical illusion and a special mirror, which reflects the original masterpiece of architecture. However, this building, built to attract tourists to the city, does not really have a single direct corner. Architects embodied the most original ideasThanks to which the delight of the house has received world fame.

The most photographed building

Windows and doors of the building built from the most different materials, bizarrely bent, and the roof made of shiny plates is similar to the back of the magic dragon. Cause delight and multi-colored glass inputs that are highlighted at night colorful lights. Without exaggeration, we can say that this is the most photographed building of Poland.

Visitors to the shopping center will be seen on the first floor of a written wall, which is an analogue of the star alley in Hollywood, where media person express their admiration.

Environmental House

When architects design the most unusual homes that differ from the rest of the original forms, they often care only about profits, since such structures immediately become objects of close attention of tourists. However, there are also such masters who think not about commerce, but about harmony with nature. There was an adherent of ecological style, and all his masterpieces fits perfectly into the natural landscape. He said that living in the same buildings is very harmful to human mental and physical health.

Ulitko-shaped Waldspirale complex

So, in German Darmstadt is a terrific residential complex consisting of 12 floors. A huge building made in the form of a horseshoe is designed for 105 apartments, and each of them has its own characteristics. Now this house, on the roof of which trees grow, and in the courtyard there is a small pond with fish, allows you to feel the beauty of unity with nature in the very center of a noisy city.

"Forest Spiral" in Darmstadt is a street-shaped structure, in which there are no straight lines and sharp corners. In the building, thousands of windows of non-repeating shapes and sizes, and each decorated with a miniature crown so that people felt like real kings of their livingplas. The refusal of the architect from the familiar forms was affected by the interior, and here no one will find straight corners between the wall and the floor, and all lines are rounded.

Nautilus in Naukalpan de Juarez

In a building that appeared in Mexico, there is also no familiar geometry of modern buildings. Similar to the giant sink snail "House-Nautilus", where the furniture grows straight from the walls, often compared with masterpieces created by Great Gaudi. A very bright and colorful construction with color stained-glass windows appeared 11 years ago, and during this time he received recognition of foreign guests, hurrying to enjoy an amazing spectacle.

Fancy architecture masterpiece they take for a futuristic monument or an unusual attraction, although in fact it is a residential building where the Mexican family lives. Dreaming to merge with the nature of the spouses ordered a project of a unique structure and took care not only about aesthetic appearance, but also about security. Today, designers refer to unique monuments of the so-called bioorganic architecture this unusual home. The miracle of the architect thought, fully adapted to life, wonderfully fits into the surrounding landscape.

Security and beauty

Due to the frame of reinforced wire, the streamlined building will love even in the case of a strong earthquake. And the material from which the Mollusk sink is built is a type of refractory ceramics capable of opposing adverse weather conditions.

The sun's rays, illuminating the facade decorated with a mosaic, penetrate the inside of the room, on the walls of which are sparkling multicolored glare. And entering the house, visitors will see not an ordinary floor, but a herbal carpet, according to which the paths are looped in the owners room. Numerous green plantings are an organic component of the interior. Rounded windows create an impression that this is a real shell lying on the bottom of the ocean. It seems that this is some other measurement, genuine magic, immersing residents and guests to another reality. Bedrooms and kitchen are located in the rear of the structure, away from the curious eyes of visitors.


It is impossible to describe all the famous masterpieces of architectural skills. While the person is alive, the most unusual houses that inspire, surprise and cause a sense of pride. It pleases that many unpredictable designs are used according to their intended purpose.
