The most unusual buildings in the world

Looking at the most unusual buildings in the world, you involuntarily think that you need to travel more around the world. These amazing designs are made from a variety of materials by the hands of geniuses.

Sometimes it seems that you can build anything, and from anything: ants build their houses from sand and spruce needles, mollusks from lime, you can even build love on popular TV projects, and Botox is used to build new face shapes. But when you look at some architectural masterpieces, you don’t understand at all how and from what they are built.

These buildings may be included in various lists and ratings, books will be written about them and educational excursions dedicated to them will be organized. What are these wonders of architectural thought?

Most unusual buildings in the world

This miracle is somewhat reminiscent of a hut on chicken legs. Today it represents a hotel with a loud name "House in the Clouds", located in the English village of Thorpeness (Suffolk County).

From 1923 to 1970 it was just a water tower. After being dismantled and boarded up, one night in such a tower costs an average of £600.

The author of these so-called "cube houses" located in Rotterdam is Piet Blom.

They say that residents complain that all the furniture has to be placed in the middle of the room, because the walls are at an angle.

It seems to me that if Gaudí could live a few hundred years, he could come to such a style in architecture.

This bottle house is one of three built on Prince Edward Island (Canada). The author of this masterpiece is Edouard Arsenault, although he himself is inclined to attribute authorship to his daughter, who prompted her father to this idea by sending him a postcard from a bottle lock, which is also located in Canada, on Vancouver Island.

To build his "bottle village", Mr. Arceno collected 25,000 empty glass bottles of different colors, bypassing all the acquaintances and neighboring restaurants. Today you can get to the village from May to October. Photos from tourists are excellent.

Shoe House, located in Pennsylvania (USA), today serves as a museum.

It was created by order of Mr. Nines, a shoe salesman, specifically to advertise his product. Well, that was a great PR move.

A unique stone house can be seen in Portugal - not far from the city of Fafe. The walls are giant boulders. In general, most tourists find that the house is very similar to the home of the Flintstones, a cartoon family from the Stone Age.

The architect of this building - Victor Rodriguez - also admits that it was the Flintstones who inspired him to build such a house, which he created as a country residence for himself and his family.

Mr. Rodriguez hoped that he would be able to hide in this stone shelter from the bustle, but it was not so: a huge number of tourists and all kinds of vandals did not give him rest, so the whole family had to leave the stone house.
