Title: 14 unusual "house" designs
Post by: poppy on February 03, 2010, 04:45:44 PM
My searches are turning up strange things today.

I put the word house in quotes because I am familiar with one of the designs, and it's not a house.

The big basket is a real building, but not a house; it's the head quarters office building for the Longaberger Basket Co. in Newark, OH.

Well, hmmm.  A couple of those, I have to wonder if they were photoshopped (the one of the 'house' on a 'rock' in the ocean, standing on two pilings!, and the one of a building wedged in between two rock walls, with a rope ladder hanging down under it).  A few don't really look all that odd, at least to me.  The house on what appears to be a tiny island (but probably not, because there's a car parked in front of it) is probably built in between the two big rocks to help protect it from the wind.  The only thing odd about the adobe/cob apartment building is some of the stairs look like they'd be a pain to use, possibly unsafe.  And I don't see anything terribly odd about the lake-side village (Switzerland?) or the ocean-side town on the bluff, looks like somewhere on the Mediteranean.  Some of the others are weird, though!

The one that looks like a whole block of homes are at an acute angle is in San Francisco---the street is really steep and the camera is cocked but the houses are plumb.

Lots more oddities or strange houses HERE. (http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php?topic=1248.0)


..... and yes, I believe some of these have been through Photoshop.
