Mr. Toilet House – Suwon, South Korea
Sim Jaedeok, the former South Korean mayor of Suwon City, did his best to push for public toilet upgrades. The man would end up so dedicated to the watery campaign that he leveled the home that had been his for three decades and erected a toilet-inspired anomaly. Go Giung was the architect tasked with bringing Jaedeok’s vision to life, and it was in 2007 that the biggest toilet in South Korea was completed. Sadly, Jaedeok passed away in 2009, and his surviving relatives passed it on to the municipality where it became a museum dedicated to toilets.

Hundertwasser House – Vienna, Austria
We now turn our attention to the surreal Hundertwasser House of Vienna, Austria, which was constructed in March, 1986. Granted, this location is a major attraction for tourists thanks to its vivid and irregular architecture. Joseph Krawina and Friedensreich Hundertwasser designed the location with a healthy dose of Gaudi inspiration. It also happens to be one of the most frequented tourist traps in Vienna. Amazingly, those that actually live in this block can redecorate the spaces surrounding their windows in any way that they see fit.
