5 Odd-Shaped Homes Around the World

If you like to march to the beat of your own drum, skip a traditional-style house for a unique, one-of-a-kind dwelling. Below are five odd-shaped homes around the world, perfect for those who like to live outside the box.

#1: Upside-Down House, Germany

Named “The World Stands on its Head,” this upside-down house was built in Trassenheide, Germany, on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom. Visitors can enter the Cape Cod-style home—which was constructed with a steel frame to support its weight—through its attic.

One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous designs, Fallingwater was built in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania. The house is sited over a waterfall on Bear Run, located in Fayette County.
