It is human nature to seek or create for himself an ideal home, which should be not only cozy, but also unusual enough to distinguish the owner from others. Therefore, we hire architectural and design bureaus that can give the home an individual character.
On our planet there are houses glorified solely because of the madness or unusualness of the ideas of their owners - we will introduce you to the most striking projects.
Heliodom
This building in northeastern France, in the Picardy commune of Cosveleur, in size and external characteristics is similar to a spinning top. The building is completely self-sufficient and powered by solar panels, the roof and walls are installed at an inclination of a certain degree, which allows you to achieve maximum energy efficiency.
The battery system allows you to accumulate energy in the daytime and spend it at night, and the resources obtained are enough to heat and illuminate housing, use for cooking and other tasks.
The absolute transparency of the walls attracts you - all interiors are available for visual evaluation from the street. To live in such a way, you need to be a very transparent person.
The authorship of the design project belongs to cabinetmaker and carpenter Eric Weiser. From an early age, he was drawn to design and architectural pursuits. In 2004, his work was awarded a special prize of the international inventive competition "Lepine Competition".
House of Bubbles
The next architectural masterpiece at one time was the property of the star of the fashion world couturier Pierre Cardin. It is located on the French Riviera and is a structure of nine balls of irregular shape with a total area of over a thousand square meters.
Each bubble is a separate room with its own functional role. The project belongs to Anti Lovag , an architect known for his dislike of various corners and looking for any opportunity to abandon them.
Initially, the customer was a businessman from politics, in other words - an oligarch. But he was not lucky e luck to die before the completion of work on the building. According to some reports, the house is currently looking for a new owner, and you can become one - if, of course, you have an extra $ 450 million.
House with greetings
The building adorns the Australian city of Melbourne, the provincial capital, and belongs to very hospitable people: on the front side of the house with a brick is laid out a giant inscription "hello", made of brick blocks.
The discovery of local artist Rosa Nolan allows you to hide from the gaze of neighbors and other curious personal lives of the inhabitants of the old Victorian mansion. Plus, it's uplifting!
Underground villa
In the Swiss Alps, in a village called Waltz hides an underground house. Its facade is turned towards the mountains - so the inhabitants can admire the scenery in the morning.
Despite the underground localization, in each of the rooms of this unusual estate there is a window. There is also no need to complain about the lack of sun - there are openings in the living room, in the kitchen and in the corridors.
The house became a local landmark; the owners moved out and now rent everything out. Tenants can feel like hobbits for a modest amount from 2000 to 3000 euros weekly – rates vary depending on seasonality.
House-plane
The insides of this building are the most ordinary, but the facade deserves special mention: on it on a frame of reinforced concrete in the role of the roof are the wings from the Boeing-747 written off for disposal, each of which has an area of 230 "squares".
The owner of the house, Frances Reyvald, purchased these jewelry for fifty thousand dollars.
In order for the crews of other aircraft not to take all this for a broken liner, the building had to be registered in the Malibu division of the Federal Civil Aviation Administration.
Ball House
There are strange buildings in the Russian Federation. In Moscow Zelenograd is the country's first dome-shaped house, owned by a doctor, a specialist in rehabilitation Olga Kochuneeva.
The facade is covered with larch wood and decorated with a lacquered pine board, for which the surrounding residents received the nickname "Pineapple".
Functionally, this is a country house, its diameter does not exceed nine meters, is intended for recreation and recreation. Inside there is everything you need for life – but there is no TV.
House of three drawers
The owners of this Boston house did not particularly bother with the choice of the project, installing on top of each other three colossal sizes of plywood boxes. The project of the studio "Uni Architect" was created in the hope of hiding the personal life of the owners from the close attention of neighbors.
It turned out differently: without fooling away the neighbors, the non-standard project began to attract the attention of the public from all over the city, and then tourists.
At first glance, it seems that the building is devoid of window openings, but this is not so: the windows are there, just placed in the corners formed by the displacement of the boxes relative to each other. The façade is covered with oak impregnated with yacht varnish, which is designed to protect the structure from bad weather and rot.
