6 Weird & Wonderful Houses (Slideshow)

  • 4 of 7

 

3. Toilet House

Yep, you read that right — this Suwon, South Korea home is shaped like a toilet. But there’s a story behind it: the home was built by Sim Jae-duck, the chairman of the organizing committee of the World Toilet Association General Assembly. He built the house to highlight the need for better sanitation around the world and the diseases that arrive out of poor sanitation.

some of the pictures were great! a house is a home you make your own-if you're lucky enough you buy your own. we've got a mortgage on ours, but it's so much better than renting as you can do what you like to the house and garden! i like the architecture of some of the art deco houses. not far from my parents are you're heading into rhyl-wales/uk, there's an art deco house there that was for sale. i never got to look inside or find out how much it was, but i bet it was more than the house i got was! and a lot of it was wood too, so that causes problems of it's own, especially with that close proximity to the sea!

Can't say I'd want to live in any of them... Maybe the one in Yemen.

I really love the snail house but don't get the upside down one.
