Weird Homes – Is Beauty Really in the Eyes of the Beholder? by Thomas B. Chuong

They say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I guess when it comes to weird homes that is the most applicable statement to make. Depending on the Country you live in there may be a policy regarding homes that anything goes. In other Countries, they are very strict on the building code. Nevertheless, there are many strange and unusual homes throughout the world.

We have all heard the nursery rhyme of the “old woman that lived in a shoe” but in reality there is quite an attractive home shaped like a shoe. One must admit that this is quite intriguing and would make it quite unusual for living in and entertaining in as well.

As a youngster, most boys would get the most enjoyment out of having their own tree house. However, what about the adults that have decided that living in the tree house on a permanent basis would be quite intriguing. Some attractive ones can be found if you look closely throughout some of the states.

Coming back down to earth lets go the opposite way and thing about a cave home. There is such a home called rock cottage but it is not the only one in existence. There are several others within the area. It would seem that it has not lived in now but was up until 1948. It is necessary see and is unique and really fits into the classification of weird homes.

Perhaps a round the house would be more to your liking. If you were to go to Somerville, you would have no problem finding such a sight. This particular house is totally round and was built in 1856.

Then how about the illusion of living in Egypt as one unusual home can give you. This is easily done if you own a house that is shaped like a pyramid. Then again, maybe Egypt is not for you so how about something by the seashore who knows you can even have your own seashell house as one family does.

Then we have to say that it can get even more intriguing with the cube home. This you can find in India and is simply a glass cube that is balanced on an axis. It is inhabited and it is probably one of the most modern unusual homes in existence at least when it comes to weird homes.

As long as these weird homes are safe in both structure and livable, then one should adopt a “live and let live kind” of attitude. There is nothing wrong with people wanting to be unique and different and if they want their home to be a little bit on the unusual side then so be it and all the best to them.
