A woman in Benoit, Mississippi, bought a plane for $2,000 and renovated it for $24,000, and the result is the Boeing 727 House. The stairs open with a garage door remote, and one of the original bathrooms on the plane is still intact and working. The winning feature of this innovative home is the jacuzzi that has been fitted in the cockpit. The Boeing Home is featured as part of a collection of creative conversions, so if this one isn’t weird enough for you, there’ll be one that is.

2. Strawberry House, Japan

The Sanrio Strawberry House in Tokyo is pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Small, kitsch and adorable, this house fits perfectly in the small suburb of Denenchofu. It’s pretty hard to miss, which is why it has become a fascinating attraction for tourists and locals alike.

3. Steel House, America

Designed and made by an architect and sculptor named Robert Bruno, the Steel House took a total of 23 years to build. Located in Lubbock, Texas, the house is designed to look like a giant pig. The interior is extremely intricate and modern, especially when considering the construction began in 1974. Made out of 110 tons of steel, the elevated house has an incredible view of its surroundings.

4. Porcelain House, China

A porcelain collector in Tianjin, China, spent four years decorating an old house with extortionate amounts of ancient porcelain fragments and natural crystals. The French-style building has a history that spans over more than a century, including originally being the home of a central finance minister in the late Qing dynasty. Now known as the Porcelain House or the Yuebao House, it was opened to the public in 2007 and is one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions.

5. The Crooked House, Poland

Aptly named, this building in the town of Sopot is rumoured to be inspired by the work of two acclaimed Polish artists: children’s literature author Jan Brzechwa and illustrator Jan Marcin Szancer. And you can see why – the whimsical design plays tricks on the eye and defies traditional engineering with an almost cartoon-like aesthetic. This unique piece of architectural history was built in 2004 and contains restaurants, office buildings and even a mall.

6. Transparent House in Tokyo, Japan

If you're a fan of having natural daylight in your house, this is the house for you. It's completely transparent, so lots of sunlight, but no privacy. Built by Sou Fujimoto Architects, this house is inspired by our ancestors who lived in trees.

7. Skateboard House, Malibu, California

This is for the skateboard fanatics. The entire house is designed like one big skateboarding rink. The house was designed by Pierre Andre Senizergues, a former pro-skating world champion.

8. The Keret House, Poland

Located in Poland, the Keret House is the world’s slimmest house. It’s 152 centimeters wide at its most extensive point. Its resident and also its designer, Jakub Szczęsny, wanted to make sure that no urban spaces go underutilized. This is why he squeezed his house in between two other buildings, measuring only from 92 to 152 centimeters in width.

9. Upside down house, Trassenheide Germany

This out-of-the-ordinary house was designed for a special exhibition in Trassenheide Germany and is open to the public for visiting. The creators – Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk say they “didn’t build the house for a reason, they just wanted to do something different.” The World Stands on its Head is the official name of the project; even all the room inside were created upside down.

10. Beer can house, Houston, Texas

In 1968, John Milkovisch started on the exterior of the Beer Can house, making a metal canopy that was adorned with strings of beer can tops, each piece glittering like garlands in the sunlight. Beer bottles were repurposed into walls, casting colored shadows like stained glass. Stacks of bottles were also repurposed into fences, and broken bottles became mosaic material.

11. The Nautilus, Mexico City, Mexico

This unique shell-shaped house, designed by architect Javier Senosiain, is very unusual and bold. Following the idea of “Bio-Architecture” – basing buildings on the natural principles of organic forms bringing us back to creating harmony with nature, he was inspired to bring the life aquatic into this design.

12. The Hobbit House, Wales

Straight out of Hobbiton, this house was built by a photographer who evidently was a huge LOTR fan. But the most remarkable thing about it is that it was built using only natural materials and cost only $5200.

13. Old Water Tower, Belgium

The architect-designed this kind of house built into the vigorous waterfall on site since there was not enough land to build a full home on this parcel. This amazing house is situated on Bear Run in Pennsylvania.

14. The Mobile Aquatic Pod

This was design by Stephen Turner as a personal experiment. The “Exbury Egg” was planned to be an art installation but turned into Stephen’s house on the water. Set out as an extreme minimal living solution, the egg is towed by boat to its home and the wooden exterior is meant to weather over time to blend in with the swamps in which it resides.

The pod comes with a one-room living space, a standard shower, hammock and cooking equipment are carried within. The dock is removable that was built to the egg to allow entrance. The ergonomic egg shape bounces lightly on the tide and is secured by ropes, making it the perfect mobile floating home.

15. Cube houses, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Kubuswoningen are a set of innovative houses designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. There are 38 small cubes and two so-called ‘super cubes, all attached to each other. This iconic building has now been transformed into a hostel, where guests can stay in a tilted cube room.
