Edmonton Real Estate Blog

Time for us to fill up your daily dose of house feeds. Today we feature the world’s 5 most bizarre and amazing houses. The Cliff House article by Business Insider was the idea inducing factor for this piece and with Halloween right around the corner this could go on as an inspiration for your next Halloween home design. (Well, if you’re thinking of buying a home before Halloween, we might just have something for you in our Edmonton MLS Real Estate listing, remember to check it after.)

1. Cliff House by Modscape Concept (Australia): The title speaks for itself, this concept house hangs at the edge of a cliff in the outskirts of Australia. It’s a five story house that features 3 bedrooms, living room and a kitchen with the center piece being the floor-to-ceiling windows overseeing the vast ocean. The bottom area supports the Jacuzzi and barbeque making it an amazing getaway home from the hustle and bustle of the city. I’d say Tony Stark would love it.
   
2. Free Spirit Sphere (British Columbia): Designed by Tom and Rosy Chudleigh, this house is the definition of bizarre. Average weight of the sphere is 1100 pounds and the overall experience would depend on the wind speed of your (tree) location. Just imagine what would happen if you were in there and the wind was blowing at 80 mph! Scary! A great upside to this kind of house is its Eco-friendly design.
   Yup, the Ewoks from Star Wars would surely be delighted with this!
3. Leaf House (Brazil): Speaking of Eco-friendly design, this house in Angra dos Reis, Brazil ranks at number three as it was designed to look like a flower with six petals each cleverly covering the different sections of the home! The open design by Architect firm Mareines + Patalano is perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate.
4. House of Stone (Portugal): Experience the Flintstones lifestyle! This amazing house is the textbook definition of living off the grid. Built in 1974 between 4 boulders, this house features a swimming pool carved out of one of the rocks and fireplace-not bad!
   Here’s a look at the interior.
   
   
5. Bubble House (France): Located in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, France, this bizarre looking house was designed in the 70’s for a fashion designer (which explains it) named Pierre Cardin, the architect was Antti Lovag. Its bizarre structure and amazing concept officially made it a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture.

It would really be interesting if we ever listed a home for sale in Edmonton that looked any one of these houses.
So, there you have it! We hope you got your fill of house feeds this Thursday morning and don’t forget to subscribe to our blog and do check out the list of amazing houses for sale on our Edmonton MLS Listings.
