No, you didn’t read the title wrong.  330 square feet hasn’t stopped Hong Kong architect Gary Chang from expanding his tiny apartment into a shocking 24-room space.  How is that possible?  Are the individual rooms less than 14 square feet each?  The strange answer is…sort of. Gary decided to make the most of his space [...]

For those who like to travel, here we submit a not-to-be-missed historical attraction off the coast of France. In world where modern design and technological advances have led to the construction of some of the most impressive (and unusual) residences, it cannot be forgotten that history has provided us with some unforgettable abodes that will [...]

There is surprisingly little information available on the Kettle House in Galveston, Texas. It is a very interesting-looking structure.  Rumor has it that it was built in the 1950′s, and that it is the top of a silo turned upside down and roofed.  Most of the internet comments out there comment on the fact that [...]

We usually discuss strange homes on this site, but when there is a re-emerged sunken town to talk about we simply can’t resist. Once upon a time a population of about 1200 people lived in the valley town of Potosi in Venezuela.  One day, the president arrived on a helicopter and informed everyone in the [...]

We don’t usually delve into celebrity news and scoops, but when I saw the specs on Perry Farrell’s Venice, CA home that went up for sale several months ago, I know I just had to write it up here.  The home sold on May 25, so unfortunately you can’t count on me for the latest [...]

In the immortal words of Weird Al Yankovich, “I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda, S-O-D-A.” That, in a nutshell, describes Dagobah, for sure.  But isn’t there so much more to the planet where young Luke Skywalker meets Master Yoda for the [...]

Yet another post inspired by the fact that someone in my household is addicted to educational television!  A recent episode of a show on the Discovery Channel showed a crew put together a Huf Haus in only 5 days.  That’s start to finish (framing, windows, caulking, etc) not including wiring or plumbing.  That is pretty [...]

More good news for people who want to watch educational TV, but can’t stay awake through it.  American Pickers is a relatively new show on The History Channel, and it is extremely watchable.  But what,  you ask, does that have to do with weird houses and strange places to live?  Only everything!  Mike and Frank [...]

It is a commonly held adage that a man’s house is his castle.  A forward-thinking individual in San Juan, Dominican Republic took this old saying to a whole new level.  With glistening white towers and graceful arched windows, it’s easy to imagine this abode nestled firmly in the midst of a Caribbean fairy tale.  That [...]
