Turtle House

Photo from imgfave.com

Not really a house, but I couldn’t resist including it.

Actually it is a restaurant and bar of the Bayanzag Tourist Camp in Mongolia.

It should really be in Australia home to ‘The Big Ram. Big Koala, Big Prawn. Big Banana, etc, etc’!

Garage Door Fail

Think these garage doors look nice?

But why isn’t there a car in the garage?

Could it be because there isn’t room to fit the car because the doors open into the garage?  (taking around 1.0m off the effective length of the garage)

There is a reason why garage doors either lift or open outwards!

Bendigo Igloo?

Here is a Bing Maps view of what looks like a couple of Igloos . . . . but in Bendigo? . .  Australia?

Well its actually a home . . . built as two concrete domes, as you can see from the photo below.

It is one of the delights of Australia compared to the UK that there are far fewer restrictions on what you can build.

 

I do however wonder about homes like this:

  • How much did it cost?
  • Will the original builders ever find someone else who likes domes enough to buy this in the future?
  • How much do they lose when they sell?

The House With A Hole

Not only is this house elevated but part of the house has a void running through it!

It’s another of those unusual Japanese houses, this time in Hiroshima.

Can’t say I like it as corridors aren’t my favourite space and it just seems to be one big corridor.

All those windows without any shading makes me think that it would be baking hot in summer and freezing cold in winter.

Found the picture on :   humble-homes.com, where you will find more photo and information.
