If a house is a man’s castle. What do these houses say about the people living in them? Today we will be
looking at 10 of the most insane houses from around the world. Ever imagine how is it like living on a
pole? Stay tuned for number one to find out.
Number 10. The Glass House
Even when looking at it from a distance, this home is definitely not like many others and requires a
certain personality and taste for those who choose to live in it, most specifically people who don’t care
for their privacy.
This house is entirely see through, and pretty much leaves nothing to the imagination. All of the walls
are pretty much giant windows allowing for everybody to see into your home and bear witness to
anything and everything that you do.
According to the architect that designed this thing, he took inspiration from traditional treehouses. So,
instead of having the traditional “first floor” and “second floor”, the interior of the house is made up of
different platforms set on varying heights, which gives you an impression of climbing into a tree house.
Although small at only 914 square feet, the interior and the design gives you a whole lot of space for
furniture and people.
Thankfully this neighborhood is not too busy, allowing for some form of privacy considering the nature
of the house. But if you still need a little bit of privacy, curtains were installed in some of the rooms in
the house, hopefully in the as I’m pretty sure neighbors won’t be too keen on seeing what kind of
business you do in there.
Number 9. Fallingwater
This house was designed in 1935 and has become incredibly popular over the years for many reasons. It
was built partly over a waterfall, which is the main attraction about the house right in the center of lush
greenery.
It was originally constructed to be a family weekend home for Edgar J. Kaufman’s family. They used it
between 1937 and 1963 as their own private getaway. Eventually the home got deeded to the public
and is now a popular tourist attraction. The home attracts more than 160,000 tourists per year.
Unfortunately, time has not been very good to the home, which is now showing various signs of
deterioration, and the maintenance costs of a house like this is not something to gawk at. The outer
walls must be washed very well on a regular basis and rooms are repainted as needed. Even the
bathroom floor, which is made out of corkboard, needs to be replaced periodically. Overall, there is a
very close watch on the home and in making sure everything is at its best.
Number 8. The Clocktower Penthouse
If you’re like me, you hate the sound of your alarm clock in the morning, so can you imagine living inside
the clock itself? The good thing is, this clock doesn’t chime every hour.
Atop One Main Street in Brooklyn, New York, an iconic clock tower was transformed into a stunning
triplex penthouse, located in the trendy DUMBO or the down under the Manhattan bridge overpass
neighborhood. The apartment is part of an old industrial building that was originally built by cardboard
manufacturers, and the tower transformation project was developed by David Walentas - the man
behind the DUMBO project itself.
The jaw-dropping 6,813 square feet penthouse offers you a 360 degrees’ view of the city, overlooking
the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan. Its signature feature, however, are the four massive clocks,
installed in 14-foot-high round windows on each wall. The three-story apartment, with the ceiling going
from 16 to 50 feet in height, also has a glass elevator running up its center.
The penthouse of the Clock Tower building entered the market in 2009 as the most expensive condo in
Brooklyn, listed for $25 million - till then, the most expensive apartment on record had cost a mere $11
million. The realtors, however, have been unsuccessful in selling the Clock Tower penthouse, and it’s
now down to $18 million, not exactly a bargain but hey, it’s a small price to pay if you want to live in a
clock.
Number 7. The Flintstone House
This is one of the coolest houses ever, for people falling in a very specific age bracket. Like the name
implies, it is a very accurate recreation of the home of the Flintstones, our favorite modern stone age
family.
It is fully functional with modern amenities yet still holds the extremely old school charm of The
Flintstones TV show. The 2,736 square foot home is located in sunny Malibu, and was designed for TV
personality Dick Clark.
