Слайд 3THE STEEL HOUSE
Located 20 minutes outside of Labbock in Texas, the Steel
House looks nothing like a conventional home. The sculptor Robert Bruno worked on this amazing project, handcrafting everything with no outside assistance. The house (which was never completed) has a very unusual form. Some think it resembles a UFO, others think it looks more like a massive insect and there are also those that compare it to a Star Wars AT-AT Walker.

Слайд 9The Flintstone-style house (California)
This is how the Flintstones’ house would look like
if they were our contemporaries. Everything about this house looks like it’s made of stone and has unchiseled and uneven surfaces, the lines and the angles are never perfectly straight and the whole design has a very organic feel. The interior features a single huge room.
Слайд 11The Caterpillar House (Chile)
This cool family home is located in Chile and
was designed by Santiago Irarrazaval Architects and Erick Caro in 2012. In an effort to reduce the cost as well as the construction time, they chose to build the Caterpillar house out of shipping containers. In total, 12 containers were used, one of which has an open top and serves as a swimming pool. Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes this house special. In fact, the most interesting of all is the distribution of the internal spaces and the way in which the zones interact with each other while maintaining their individuality.

Слайд 15Water tower conversion (Belgium)
Numerous towers around the world have been transformed into cozy
homes and some are really inspiring. One of them is located in Steenokkerzeel, a village in Belgium. It was built some time between 1938 and 1941 and was in service until the 1990s. At some point it served as a watchtower and in 2007 is underwent a complete renovation when it was converted by Bham Design Studio into a single family home.
