For the most part we tend to live in boring, stuffy houses that don't tend to show off our creative sides so much. Re-painting a house with a vibrant yellow is sometimes seen as being the most extreme one gets but we want to tell you about some houses that are oddly shaped and very much different than your average house found in Davisville Village. Whether it's a floating house or one that looks like a cactus or a mushroom, this website will try it's best to bring you the oddest shaped houses on the market.
One of the more common weird looking house style, are houses built to look like a UFO or flying saucer. You might be thinking to yourself that you don't see houses like that everyday but when it comes to odd shaped homes, there are a few houses out there that are shaped like flying saucers. One such house can be found in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, and by the looks of it, it is definitely out of this world. The people that live inside the white oval shaped house that resembles any UFO you might see in a B-movie might also be from another planet. However, some conspiracy theorists out there could possibly see the landed UFO house being part of some scientific research and experimental development project to convince us that UFO's do not exist. You know, in some sort of reverse psychology way of thinking. Either way, it's a pretty cool looking home but definitely not one of the oddest looking houses out there.
If you're a fan of fishing but don't ever want to be caught dead sleeping with the fishes, then this next home is for you. Out in Berkeley, California, is a house that looks like a fish. Rumours say that it was actually built to resemble the microscopic marine animal tardigrade but there is no denying that the house looks like a fish. It was built with cement blocks and recycled Styrofoam and is also waterproof, earthquakproof, soundproof and fireproof. Among it's features are fish eyes that work on solar power that actually help heat the home. This is one home that could use some aqua finishing solutions to help with the renovations. Another home in Berkeley, California has decided to not throw out their broken TV sets and has instead decided to place them all around the outside of their home. So, if you're looking to get rid of your analog TV set in preparation for the digital conversation, they'd gladly take that set off your hands. And who knows, they may even give you the satisfaction of smashing it beforehand
While not technically a home, the Habitat 67 is an apartment complex out in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in which the apartments are connected together like Lego blocks. It doesn't have a traditional vertical construction that most urban residences are made of which therefore gives it it's open space look. From far away, it almost looks like a giant sized game of Jenga. It hasn't applied for a Canadian trade mark, at least not that we know of, but it could eventually catch on and sprout imitators, so it might want to consider protecting itself.
These are only a few examples of odd looking homes that we found so make sure to come back in the future to read about the rest of the weird and wacky houses we found. In the future we'll be discussing about homes that are built in the shapes of mushrooms and cactuses, houses that rotate and also about your average everyday upside-down looking house. That's a home that wishes it had more counterweights to help balance itself out.
