10 Wackiest Houses Around The World

With YepYep’s original HQ being in Cincinnati, someone sent us the Mushroom House and asked if we’d ever been.  The answer is no, but it inspired us to explore similarly bizarre homes from around the world.  Below are the 10 strangest we could find.

Mushroom House - Cincinnati, Ohio

The Mushroom House,also known as the Tree House, is a staple of the Hyde Park section of Cincinnati.  It was built by University of Cincinnati professor Terry Brown with the help of his architecture students.

Upside Down House – Poland

Polish businessman Daniel Czapiewski is the man behind the house that makes passersby think they’re drunk and those inside seasick
  

Shoe House - Hellam, Pennsylvania & Mpumalanga Province, South Africa

American Shoe

                    South African Sho

The American Shoe House was built for Pennsylvania’s self-proclaimed “Shoe Wizard” in the 1940’s to serve as the ultimate advertisement.  The South African Shoe House clearly is more modern, being built in 1990 and fitting for Grandmama.

Bubble House – France  

The Bubble House still isn’t finished, but it still is a tourist attraction due to its alien-esque design and beautiful view of the Mediterranean.

Fish House - Berkeley, California

Not much is known about this house, its builder, or if sea monkeys really live inside.

Hang Nga Villa – Vietnam

This house may look like it belongs in a trippy swamp in a Disney animation, but it has a cool story.

Toilet House - South Korea 

The owner of the Toilet House couldn’t be more fitting - Sim Jae-duck, chairman of the World Toilet Association.

Inversion House - Houston, Texas

Instead of demolishing a couple of old studio buildings, 2 artists decided to make them into an apparent vortex funnel.  This is definitely the house you walk by with your little brother and tell him a story about aliens.

Floating Barn

While the interwebs have greatly debated the legitimacy of this structure, I see it as home base in my post-apocalyptic life.
