Architecture is always a high art, but we have long forgotten about it, since most of the buildings on our planet are very similar to each other. The dull boxes of residential buildings have not been pleasing to the eye for a long time, but there are craftsmen who create unique houses. Those projects that have come true become known all over the world, and hundreds of thousands of tourists rush to remote corners of our planet to see modern buildings that amaze with their appearance.

Today we will consider the most unusual houses in the world, which often become the hallmarks of cities.

Kubuswoning in the Netherlands

So, the symbol of Rotterdam is the amazing cube houses set at an angle of 45 degrees. Original looking, they are mounted in hexagonal bases and raised above the ground. It is curious that the idea of ​​creating an avant-garde structure belongs to the administration, which conceived the idea of ​​building living quarters above the bridge.

Local architect Blom, who received an order in the 80s of the last century, combined them into an airy village and turned them at an angle. He gave free rein to his imagination, creating a unique "city within a city", which became well known for its unique design. The creative architect brought to life the idea that megacities should have cozy villages - quiet oases for residents, where they have their own courtyard, playground and shops.

Avant-garde architectural complex

The cube house, made of cement and wood, stands on a high support and is turned at an angle in such a way that three of its sides are facing the sky, and the other three - to the ground. The roofs of 38 structures were painted gray and white to make the buildings resemble mountain peaks from afar. From a bird's eye view, this design looks like a huge children's puzzle.

Inside the avant-garde houses are located the same unique apartments in the form of which is about 100 meters 2, however, the entire space cannot be used for housing because of the angle between the floor and the walls. The Cubic House in Rotterdam is a very popular tourist destination. For a fee, you can see what is inside it and appreciate the quirkiness of life in such a strange complex.

A home where it is difficult to spend a lot of time

When it comes to the most unusual houses, one cannot fail to mention the so-called "upside-down" buildings, the fashion for which came from the USA. Basically, these are fascinating attractions designed to attract tourists. You can visit such a strange room and take interesting photos for several hundred rubles. However, avid travelers have already seen in different countries an unusual house looking into the sky, which the architects erected as a symbol of our world going crazy.

In Poland, businessman Czapewski 10 years ago ordered a project of such a "shape-shifter" with a roof lying on the ground, which became a real bait for tourists. In a small Szymbark, located not far from Gdansk, there is an upside-down house in which it is difficult to spend a lot of time, as the head starts spinning and the brain does not accept the new reality. It is for this reason that it was under construction not for several weeks, but for more than three months.

Visitors enter a wooden house, turned 180 degrees, through a small window in the attic, and then, carefully maneuvering among the chandeliers, go for a walk through the rooms. By the way, there is a legend that the customer of the project wanted to use the upside-down house as his own home, and now the local landmark attracts foreign guests from all over the world who want to walk freely on the ceiling.

Fairy house in Sopot

It is in Poland that the famous building, recognized as the best, is located. In 2004, a popular "crooked" house appeared in Sopot, which became part of a shopping center. The original building was designed from fairy tale illustrations and surreal paintings.

It seems that the "gnarled" house in Poland has melted in the sun and lost its former shape. And some tourists, at first, sincerely believe in an optical illusion and a special mirror that reflects the original masterpiece of architecture. However, this structure, built to attract tourists to the city, does not actually have a single right angle. The architects have brought to life the most original ideas, thanks to which the enthralling house has gained worldwide fame.

Most photographed building

The windows and doors of the building, built of a wide variety of materials, bend intricately, and the roof, made of shiny plates, looks like the back of a magical dragon. The multi-colored glass entrances, which are illuminated with colorful lights at night, cause delight. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most photographed building in Poland.

Visitors to the mall will see a painted wall on the ground floor, which is an analogue of a star alley in Hollywood, where media people express their admiration.

House in an ecological style

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

Waldspirale snail complex

So, in Darmstadt, Germany, there is a stunning residential complex consisting of 12 floors. The huge horseshoe-shaped building is designed for 105 apartments, and each of them has its own characteristics. Now this house, on the roof of which there are trees, and in the yard there is a small pond with fish, allows you to feel all the charm of unity with nature in the very center of a bustling city.

The Forest Spiral in Darmstadt is a snail-like structure that lacks straight lines and sharp corners. The building has thousands of windows of unique shapes and sizes, and each is decorated with a miniature crown to make people feel like real kings of their living space. The refusal of the architect from the usual forms affected the interior, and here no one will find right angles between the wall and the floor, and all the lines are rounded.

Nautilus in Naucalpan de Juarez

The building that appeared in Mexico also lacks the familiar geometry of modern buildings. Similar to a giant snail shell, the "nautilus house", where furniture grows right out of the walls, is often compared to the masterpieces created by the great Gaudí. A very bright and colorful building with colored stained-glass windows appeared 11 years ago, and during this time it has received recognition from foreign guests in a hurry to enjoy the amazing spectacle.

They mistake a bizarre architectural masterpiece for a futuristic monument or unusual attraction, although in fact it is a residential building where a Mexican family lives. The spouses who dreamed of merging with nature ordered a project of a unique structure and took care not only of the aesthetic appearance, but also of safety. Today, designers classify this unusual house as a unique monument of the so-called bioorganic architecture. A miracle of architectural thought, fully adapted to life, wonderfully fits into the surrounding landscape.

Safety and beauty

Thanks to a reinforced wire frame, the streamlined building will withstand even in the event of a strong earthquake. And the material from which the "clam shell" is built is a type of refractory ceramic that can withstand adverse weather conditions.

The sun's rays, illuminating the facade decorated with mosaics, penetrate into the room, on the walls of which multi-colored glare sparkles. And upon entering the house, visitors will see not an ordinary floor, but a grass carpet, along which paths winding to the owners' rooms wind. Numerous green spaces are an organic part of the interior. Rounded windows give the impression that it is a real shell lying on the bottom of the ocean. It seems that this is some other dimension, genuine magic that immerses residents and guests in a different reality. The bedrooms and kitchen are located at the rear of the structure, away from the prying eyes of visitors.

It is impossible to describe all the famous architectural masterpieces. As long as a person is alive, the most unusual houses will appear that inspire, surprise and arouse a sense of pride. I am glad that many unpredictable designs are used for their intended purpose.

For some people on our planet, just the thought that they will have to live in a nondescript house like everyone else is doing badly. They decided to be original and created unique houses, which may not be to everyone's taste, but the flight of their creators' imagination is hard not to appreciate. See the most original houses in the world.
