The world is full of creative minds that can change the way we perceive even the simplest things, like at home. Surely there are interesting buildings in your hometown, but they cannot be compared with the most unusual houses in the worldwhich we are going to show you.
20. Pole House, Australia
This home, designed and built by F2 Architecture, overlooks Australia's Great Ocean Road. Its unusual location guarantees visitors spectacular views and possibly a fear of heights.
Pole House was built at a height of 40 meters, on a very steep slope, which was clearly a problem. And the architects came up with the most intriguing solution. They created a concrete platform on a pylon 13 meters high and placed a house on top of it. However, this gave rise to another problem - the lack of convenient access to the home. To solve this, the architects built a narrow concrete bridge that links the house to the hill.
19. Steel House, USA
Next on the list of the strangest houses on Earth is a structure that looks more like a giant work of art. And after learning her story, you will understand why this is so.

The house (which was never finished) has a very unusual shape that can be interpreted in many ways. Some think it resembles a UFO, others argue that the building looks more like a massive insect. And there are those who compare it to the AT-AT Walker imperial combat walker from Star Wars.
