Flat-Pack House – Ostend, Belgium
It would appear that we cannot get enough of Belgium’s quirkiest home creations, and the Flat-Pack House in Ostend is a star attraction. This extremely busy design hurts the eyes and resembles a piece of IKEA furniture that was constructed by someone that had no idea what they were doing. While we are sure that the architect was fully in control while he was designing this spot, we cannot help but feel that he spent a little too much time appreciating Escher’s drawings.
Grandma Prisbrey’s Bottle Village – Simi Valley, California
This unique and environmentally friendly spot is called Grandma Prisbrey’s Bottle Village. It was constructed out of a landfill dump’s contents, mostly relying on the many thousands of discarded glass bottles that you can see in the picture. There are also stranger objects to be found, like dolls’ heads. Tressa “Grandma” Prisbrey was the mastermind behind this recycling wonder, having dedicated twenty years of her life to finishing this incredible spot. You can find the Bottle Village in California’s Simi Valley, which has been honored as a member of the National Register of Historic Places.
