Snail House

Situated in Sofia, Bulgaria, this lovely house was reportedly built in 2008 and is owned by a construction specialist who designed the golf courses in Japan and France and worked over the palace of the Emir of Kuwait.

 

Druzhba Holiday Center (Yalta, Ukraine)

A unique resort centre built in 1984 by architect Igor Vasilevsky is situated on the extremely high rock over the sea. The main building is connected with a bridge with a huge glass tube which tourists enter to get inside.

Kansas City Public Library Parking Garage (Kansas City, USA) The building is looking like a huge bookshelf, containing 22 books. The book spines, which measure approximately 25 feet by 9 feet, are made of signboard mylar.

The Crooked House (Sopot, Poland) The three-storeyed house was created by Szotynscy Zaleski, who found inspiration in the illustrations to the fairytales. Located in the Rezydent shopping center in downtown Sopot, Poland the Crooked House has become the most photographed building in the whole country.

Low impact woodland house (Wales, UK) The author will say the best: “You are looking at pictures of a house I built for our family in Wales. It was built by myself and my father in law with help from passers by and visiting friends. 4 months after starting we were moved in and cosy. I estimate 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly £60/sq m excluding labour).”
