"Top 7 Weirdest Houses," with photos and text.
There may be weirder houses, but not by much.
"The Glass House" by Philip Johnson makes the list. I see the author's point. That architectural oddity is beautiful, but ... well, take a look for yourself.
Not on the list is a house which I hope to find online someday. It was designed by an architect as a one-of-a-kind gift to his mother-in-law. Constructed of conventional planking, the house is a rectangular prism, resting on one edge, the four 'middle' corners supported by wooden pillars. A chimney is encased entirely in wood, and the door is in one of the sloping sides.
The house drew a little attention a few decades ago, as an architectural curiosity. Being from an agricultural area, I recognized the shape almost immediately.
It's a scaled-up replica of a commonly-used sort of fertilizer bin.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the in-laws realized the connection.
You're really on a weird kick, huh? (I'm reading this in reverse order, so maybe I should have said this a few comments up.)
