Unusual Houses
Living within a Work of Art

Some of these unusual houses and unique homes would perfectly fit into the section Art Environments, though I wanted to give them their own space, since they are built with a double purpose – art objects and homes to live in.

In our age of conformity and standardized living, it’s liberating to see that these visionary artists and architects dare to think and build differently.

Artist or Architect – these houses are built by non-conventionalists with a peerless imagination.

Take a tour of some of the world’s most amazing houses. Whether they are remodeled or newly built; cool, bizarre, or just plain weird – I hope you enjoy these uniquely crafted and sometimes strange houses as much as I do.
