The world is full of creative minds that can change the way we perceive even the simplest things, for example, at home. Surely in your hometown there are interesting buildings, but they can not be compared with the most unusual homes in the worldwhich we are going to show you.
20. Pole House, Australia
Designed and built by F2 Architecture, this house overlooks the Great Ocean Road in Australia. Its unusual location guarantees visitors breathtaking views and perhaps a fear of heights.
Pole House was built at a height of 40 meters, on a very steep slope, which was clearly a problem. And the architects came up with the most intriguing solution. They created a concrete platform on a pylon 13 meters high and placed the house on its top. However, this gave rise to another problem - the lack of convenient access to housing. To solve it, the architects built a narrow concrete bridge that connects the house to the hill.
19. Steel House, USA
The next on the list of the strangest houses on Earth is a structure that looks more like a gigantic work of art. And knowing her story, you will understand why this is so. It all started in 1973, when the sculptor Robert Bruno began his eccentric project. From then until his death in 2008, he worked at Steel House in Texas, doing all the work manually without outside help.
The house (which was never finished) has a very unusual shape, which can be interpreted in different ways. Some people think that it resembles a UFO, others claim that the building is more like a massive insect. And there are those who compare it with the imperial combat walker AT-AT Walker from Star Wars.
18. Slide House, Japan
This is one of the funniest houses in the world, and its design is surprisingly simple. The central part in it is a giant slide, which is an integral part of the building. It runs along the entire inner perimeter of the building, which has rounded corners.
This wonderful home was designed by Level Architects and was completed in 2009. An ideal place for children and their cheerful parents who love steep descents.
17. PAS House, USA
This is not just a California home, but a skateboarder’s dream. Its bizarre design is the result of the collaboration of Francois Perrin, Gilles Lebon Delapoint and their client, professional skateboarder and former world champion Pierre Andre Senizerkes.
The interior of the house consists of three main areas, one of which is designed for skateboarding. There you can ride on almost all surfaces, including walls, ceiling and even furniture.
16. Seashell House, Mexico
The photo of one of the most unusual and beautiful houses on Earth very much resembles a giant sea shell. And not in vain. The house was designed by Javier Senosian, who drew inspiration from the images of Nautilus (a genus of cephalopods).
Of course, the exterior of the house was a little stylized, and its shape and design were adapted for a comfortable stay in this amazing architectural decoration. The project was completed in 2016, and one of its most visible elements is a wonderful wall of colored mosaics. It creates an exquisite rainbow effect.
15. Hotel Costa Verde, Costa Rica

A strange house of 85 sq.m. is located in Tokyo and was designed by Sou Fujimoto Architects. Her clients - a young couple - were inspired by the idea of living in a tree.

12. Flintstone-style house, USA
That would be the house of the Flintstones if they were our contemporaries.

11. Keret House, Poland
“Aren't you claustrophobic?” But you will suffer, you will! ” - Master Yoda could tell Luke if the young Jedi visited the narrowest house in the world.

10. Water tower conversion, Belgium
It’s possible to live even in a water tower, and it’s quite comfortable. Numerous towers around the world have been turned into cozy houses, and some of them are really pleasing to the eye.

There is no end to tourists, and the exposition in the museum, although small, is very funny. There are both first toilets and modern models of “white friends of man”.

This crazy house may not be the most innovative idea, but its concept seems cool. US Submarines Structures is committed to building luxury submerged homes. Access to the house is possible from the coastline on a private pier and down the central elevator or spiral staircase.
