Cubic Houses, The Netherlands
These interesting Cubic Houses by Piet Bloom have this shape because Bloom was tasked to build houses over an existing pedestrian bridge. It’s like those houses are peering into the dwellers.
Nord LB Building, Germany
This building that looks like a futuristic factory seems to defy gravity! We wonder if people actually want to position themselves at the edges.

Dancing House, Czech Republic
True to its name, the Dancing House at Prague looks like it’s doing a backward dip! Also known as the Fred and Ginger Building (for obvious reasons), this is actually the Nationale-Nederlanden Building at Prague, Czech Republic. This very fluid building was created in 1992 and finished in 1996.

Ferdinand Cheval Palace, France
This unique building in France was from the collection of Ferdinand Cheval, which he gathered for 33 years. Based on legend, he initially carried the stones in his pocket, and then a basket and a wheelbarrow. To build this, he worked nightly by the light of the oil lamps.

Another building created for energy efficiency, this Miami building’s bubble-like holes actually have garden terraces and wind turbines!

Patently inspired by music, this building was built in 2007 and was meant to promote a newly developed area. It is beautiful during the day and spectacular at night, as it uses bright lights.
Nautilus House, Mexico
The Nautilus House in Mexico is a shell shaped house built by Javier Senosiain, a Mexican architect in 2006. Meant to focus on the harmony of nature, it kind of gives us a feeling of a Hobbit House on acid.
