Steel House

Artist and architect Robert Bruno has been at work on his steel home since 1974. Bruno has said that he wants the shape of the structure to be somewhere between animal and machine.

Toilet Shaped House

Built by Sim Jae-duck to celebrate the campaign for cleaner public restrooms, this house was built in the shape of a giant toilet.

This giant toilet house is made from cement and glass, most of the walls are glass with geometric cement shapes. For more photos click here.

The Upside down House

This eye catching and cleverly designed house has attracted attention from visitors around the world. It is the only upside down house built with interior in the same way. Some people have reported feeling dizzy and disoriented when entering! Nobody would inhabit it permanently as it was built purely as an exhibit.
