This house in Germany was built upside down,
including every single room and all of the furniture,
and it's referred to as "The World Stands on its Head."
What the FAK?
The Facts and Knowledge on weird houses.
This upside-down house located in Poland
was created by Daniel Czapiewski.
The house was meant to be a profound statement
about the Communist Era and the state of the world.
Normally built in three weeks, this house took 114 days,
because the workers were so disoriented by the strange angles of the walls,
and many tourists complain of seasickness and dizziness
after only a few minutes of being inside.
The Ensculptic was built by Winslow Wedin in Minnesota
and was constructed almost entirely out of foam.
The 4,000-square foot, two bedroom, three bathroom house
has plenty of amenities, including a fireplace, garage, and deck,
but when it was for sale, the vaulted ceiling,
rounded corners, and curved walls were the primary selling point.
The Futuro House was designed by Matti Suuronen,
and it looks like a flying saucer.
Fewer than 100 were built in the 60s and 70s,
and the distinctive shape makes them popular among collectors.
Composed of polyester, plastic, and fiberglass,
it was designed as a ski cabin that would be quick to heat
and easy to construct in rough terrain.
But the house was taken off the market in the mid-'70s,
when high gas prices made the manufacture of plastic extremely expensive.
It's estimated that around 50 of the original Futuro homes are still around.
The Guitar House is located in Fayetteville, Georgia,
and was built by country-Western singer Elvis Carden.
The 3,800-square foot, guitar-shaped home
took 16 years to build.
The exterior walls had the perfect curves of a Gibson.
It has aluminum cables across the length for strings,
and upon completion, Carden released an album
called Living in an Old Guitar.
The Dog Bark Park Inn is a bed and breakfast
inside the world's largest beagle.
Located in Idaho, it was built by husband and wife owners
Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin.
Guests enter the body of the beagle through a private second-story deck,
and the head of the dog is a loft with a cozy alcove in the muzzle.
The dog bed and breakfast is nicknamed Sweet Willy,
and the 12-foot-tall smaller beagle is named Toby.
Oh, and the 11-foot fire hydrant nearby contains a public restroom for humans.
Joanne Ussary bought a 727 and spent $24,000 dollars
on renovations, converting it into her dream home.
There are three bedrooms, a living room, and a modern kitchen.
There's a jacuzzi in the cockpit, and Joanne's bedroom is in first class.
She says next time she wants a Boeing 747,
because those have an upstairs, and she wants to go upstairs to go to bed.
And there's also a guy named Bruce Campbell in Oregon
who renovated his own Boeing 727 into a home,
but his cost around $200,000 dollars.
In Helen, Pennsylvania, there's a 48-foot long,
25-foot tall shoe house.
The shoe house was completed in 1949
by shoe store owner Colonel Haines for advertising purposes.
Haines walked up to an architect, handed him an old work boot,
and said, "Build me a house like this."
So located on Shoe House Road, it has a shoe mailbox
and a boot-decorated fence surrounding the yard.
The dog house is shaped like a boot, and every window in the shoe house
is decorated with a stained glass shoe.
The front door has a stained glass portrait of the Colonel holding shoes,
and the current owners sell "Heel-basi" and "Toe-Dogs" out of a snack bar in the heel.
Walking House is a modular dwelling system
that enables people to live a peaceful, nomadic life,
moving slowly with minimal impact on the environment.
It collects energy using solar cells and small windmills.
There's a system for collecting rainwater
and a system for solar-heated hot water.
Walking House is not dependent on roads,
but actually moves on many different kinds of terrain
at a slow pace similar to that of a walking human.
For 33 years, Robert Bruno designed and built his Steel House
on the edge of a canyon.
Located in Lubbock, Texas, all of the walls in the home
are either welded metal or original glass creations,
all designed to optimize the light and the visual experience.
The late mayor of Suwon, South Korea, Sim Jae-Duck,
built his loo-shaped, two-story home
to mark the 2007 inaugural meeting of the World Toilet Association.
Jae-Duck, reportedly born in a restroom,
made it his life's work to advocate for clean and working sanitation
for more than two billion people living without toilets worldwide.
The 4,520-square foot steel, concrete and glass structure
set Mayor Toilet back $1.1 million dollars.
It features a showcase glass-walled bathroom
at its center, but those concerned with privacy
can turn the walls opaque at the touch of a button.
It features a rooftop balcony that's accessible
by a toilet drain staircase, and it's referred to
as Mr. Toilet House.
Located in Austria, the Auto Residence looks
like a futuristic Volkswagen Bug.
Designed by Markus Voglereiter, it has two separate living spaces
that are connected by metal staircases,
and there are numerous windows throughout the house,
making the entire car home bright and sunny.
John Milkovisch loved beer a lot, so he covered his house
with aluminum siding made entirely of flattened beer cans.
Over 18 years, he attached around 50,000 beer cans.
When asked why, he said, "I guess I thought it was a good idea,
and it's easier than painting."
The house and landscape are adorned with many different types of beer
that John drank mostly himself.
He even used the pull tabs and tops and bottoms
to make curtains for his Beer Can house.
