Unique Homes

OMG! This boggles my mind. Fascinating but so devoid of.....anything. I like water features as much as the next person, but this would drive me insane.Thanks Bella, for a very interesting home.
@Bella said: I agree with you Ms. Rose. 😉 Interesting, for sure, but too austere for me. Not to mention you'd need a helluva dehumidifier! 😆

@Bella That waterfall bed would be more soothing to listen to than the Meditative sounds I listen to on my phone every night.
@Bella said: Soothing, maybe, but I dunno. I have to agree again with Rose. I think the dripping would drive me nuts. 😵

Agree with Rose and Bella. The dripping would make me crazy - and likely send me to the toilet half a dozen times a night!

Reminds me a tad of Orson Welles house in Morocco.
 
watched a guy who presents Incredible homes - he's an irish architect called dermot and this time was visiting Nova Scotia and Ontario and Toronto - some amazing houses - and why was I amazed it was coming from Canada??
 
"The H2ome represents the world's first undersea residence - a structure that you can purchase today.
You can choose your own sea-floor site, or we can set you up with a remarkable undersea location.
Remember, the entire undersea structure is at surface pressure, so there is no diving or de-compression necessary to inhabit this wondrous luxury sea floor residence."

I'm not one for the water, but that is awesome. Cats would definitely love it!
 
This required a closer look....

Katherine the Great and Dr. Prof. Samuel Tweed take you on a tour of the Neverwas Haul - a self-propelled three-story Victorian house. On display until the end of November 2021 at the Mare Island waterfront adjacent to the Mare Island Brewery's Coal Sheds location at 850 Nimitz Ave, Vallejo, CA.


The Neverwas Haul is a three-story, self-propelled mobile art vehicle built to resemble a Victorian house on wheels. Inspired by the fantastical stories of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, the Haul was designed by Shannon O’Hare and built by a crew of volunteers at the Shipyard art space in Berkeley, CA, in 2006. Originally intended to be a ‘mutant vehicle’ for the Burning Man art festival in Nevada, the Haul is made from 75% recycled materials, and measures 24 feet long, 24 feet high, and 12 feet wide. It is built on the base of a fifth-wheel trailer, and the second and third story of the structure pack down into the first for highway towing. When fully built and decked out for exhibition at Burning Man, the Haul is able to propel itself at a top speed of 5 miles per hour and requires a crew of ten people to operate safely (since Victorian houses are notoriously lacking in side- and rear-view mirrors). Currently, the Neverwas Haul makes her home at Obtainium Works, an “art car factory” in Vallejo, CA, owned by O’Hare and home to several other self-styled “contraptionists.”

LOL, I had no idea!

Thank you @OldFeller for the most interesting story of that crazy "house" I posted for fun. The "Neverwas Haul" 🌹
 
and yet so many homeless?????????
And yet, once again, you're trying to take a thread off-topic by injecting something that has nothing to do with it. This thread is about unique homes, not about the homeless. Start a thread about the homeless if that's what you want to discuss. It doesn't belong here.

Built in 1905 as an industrial site for the production of acetylene gas used for lighting, the building changed owners over the years and in 2004 was purchased by a private owner and has since fully renovated this gem into a holiday home, which can be rented out (Village of Hrensko, Czech Republic)

Do you think we could all get together & rent it?
