Strange Houses: Part 2

In part one (read here) of this two part series on strange houses from around the world. We saw so very unique and unusual houses that people had designed and built. In part 2 we have unearthed houses that are even more unusual and truly unique. Some of them are small and some are huge. Either way we’re confident that you will enjoy the second part of this quirky list.

Dick Clark’s Flintstones Inspired Home, USA

This single storey house in Malibu was inspired by the Flintstones family from the classic 60’s cartoon. Television legend Dick Clark has listed it for $3.5 million.

Slide House, Japan

The Slide house in Japan is three stories tall and has a regular staircase on one side of the house, and a slide on the other, which allows you to slide down to each of the floors.

Skateboard House, USA

A house truly for skateboarders. This Malibu house allows you to skate outdoors, indoors on the floor, even on the walls. This has really taken a sport and brought it into the home.

Church Converted Into Modern Family Home, Holland

A company called Zecc Architecten located in Utrecht, Netherlands converted two abandoned churches into stylish ultra-modern family residences.

World’s Smallest House – 1sq Meter, Germany

Technically this is the world’s smallest house. The portable DIY wooden structure measures only 1 square meter and is only able to snugly fit one person sitting or lying down.
