Unique House Designs

 The Longaberger Basket Company building in Newark, Ohio might just be a strangest office building in the world. The 180,000-square-foot building, a replica of the company’s famous market basket, cost $30 million and took two years to complete. Many experts tried to persuade Dave Longaberger to alter his plans, but he wanted an exact replica of the real thing.


 This project, located in the heart of Kansas City, represents one of the pioneer projects behind the revitalization of downtown. The people of Kansas City were asked to help pick highly influential books that represent Kansas City. Those titles were included as ‘bookbindings’ in the innovative design of the parking garage exterior, to inspire people to utilize the downtown Central Library.


 The house is owned by the daughter of the ex-president of Vietnam, who studied architecture in Moscow. It does not comply with any convention about house building, has unexpected twists and turns, roofs and rooms. It looks like a fairy tale castle, it has enormous “animals” like a giraffe and a spider, no window is rectangular or round, and it can be visited like a museum.

Have you heard about Einstein’s theory of curvature of space and time? In any case, skip this unusual house seem to be caught between the twisted worlds, impossible. The building is located in the center of Sopot, and reflects the art for Dahlberg and Jan Marcin Szancer, both of them have created a bizarre scene that led to life Crooked House ..



 Then erase the line between nature and architecture, this building Technological University is an outstanding example of green construction with smooth shapes, grass roof, which, and the internal structure with a protective coating. In the urban landscape dotted with traditional buildings, which will automatically hold the heat, CPG Consultants offers award-winning design that will have cooling properties with a roof system, rainwater harvesting and intelligent sensors. It seems as if the glass, concrete and metal structure is cut into its wooded valley, speaking as a natural continuation of the landscape.




Prior to his imminent destruction, Houston-based arts trio Kate Petley, Dan Havel and Dean, Rick decided to make an unusual property in the area of Montrose, turning it into a small but very memorable set called “tunnel” or “Hole”. The central tunnel like the wind in the tunnel, as it spilled out into outer space structure, besides the local audience could experience at first hand how Alice in Wonderland fantasy (or nightmare, depending on the circumstances), before all this was finally demolished in 2005 . We can only contemplate these photos and dream about their country of miracles.
