Bizarre Houses Around the World

Any ideas on how to list these five 'homes'?

 

1. The Shoe House in Hellam (Pennsylvania, USA). It was an actual guesthouse (3 bedroom, 2 baths, a kitchen and a living room) of a local shoe magnate, Mahlon N. Haines. After his death, it was an ice cream parlor for a while, and now it is a museum.

2. The Upside-Down House, in Szymbark (Poland). The house was created by Daniel Czapiewski to describe the former communist era and the present times in which we live.

3. The Cube houses, in Rotterdam (Holland). All of this 32 cube houses are attached to each other. Designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984, each cube house has three floors.

4. The Bubble House in Cannes (France). In the early eighties, fashion designer Pierre Cardin bought this atypical summer house built by architect Antti Lovag.

5. The Eliphante Art House, in Cornville (AZ, USA). Artist Michael Kahn and his wife Leda Livant built it from found materials piece by piece.

I like the top one (shoe) and the last one best.  I could actually live in either one.  But, that house tipped over on its top is a major fail in my mind.

Very interesting homes Stephen. Would love to see the inside of the "upside down house" to see if they extended the theme inside as well

Great finds! These are a far cry from any traditional and nonconventional houses I have seen. All these could be a great challenge for any real estate agent. The upside-down house is a complete failure in my opinion, but let's see the good part: the human mind is always in search of awe.
