Crazy houses

The Shell House

Straight from Mexico, we start with the famous shell house. Named ”Nautilus”, this house has walls decorated with colorful mosaics. It evokes in all respects the style of Gaudi on a chromatic level. Frank Lloyd Wright’s style for the interior vegetation and the spiral staircase.

The Bioclimatic House

Near Strasbourg, in France, this particular jewel of construction emerges. Yes, it does. This building is a real gem. This is a bioclimatic house, designed and, above all, positioned in such a way that the sun is constantly shining and the months of the year are constantly present. In the cold season, the light is able to enter inside every room, thanks to the presence of large windows. And in summer ? Isn’t it a sauna ? Of course not ! The structure has been designed to ensure that, during the summer months, there is constant shade and coolness.

The sliding house

Have you ever heard of a sliding house? Let’s find out what it is together! On the surface, it may look like an ordinary house. Actually it is the fruit of the genius of architects Alex de Rijke, Philip Marsh and Sadie Morgan. The main characteristic of this property is the presence of a real shell. The latter is made to slide, as if it were a real sliding shell. The movement is guaranteed by a remote control system and battery powered. So what allows this prerogative ? The possibility to have a house totally in contact with nature during the summer months. More sheltered in the colder months !

The home boot

Out of a storybook? No, it’s not! It’s so true! This house is so extravagant, it’s unreal. It actually exists and it’s in Texas. In fact, the boot is one of the typical symbols of Texas tradition. But we could all think, unless it became a house!
But how do you structure the property ? The boot is characterized by :

  • Two bedrooms
  • A bathroom
  • A kitchen
  • A courtyard
  • Roof terrace

And that’s not all. The spirit of this house is also oriented towards environmental sustainability! The structure was built with the wood used from waste from construction sites and other recycled materials, such as metal sheets and even old vinyl records. This house is not inhabited, but rented for short break !

And you, would you like to live in one of these crazy houses ?
