WOULD YOU LIVE HERE?

I have lived in some strange places, having had a Southern Baptist minister for a dad who uprooted us every two years, and my ex- spouses being of a very different cultures/races than mine. So I asked myself, would I live in these nutty places? Probably not, so would you be brave enough?

The design of the House on the Stick was inspired by highway billboards . The house is rather small. It is only 27 square meters (290 square feet) and as such it is not intended to be a family residence.

I'd love to visit those houses, but to live in them? I don't think so. I'd be interested to see how those houses look inside though.

Thanks for sharing.

Not interested. Too offbeat for my taste and some are just too small.

Bizarre, yet fascinating. A couple of them looked like they barely escaped the wrath of a tornado! My favorite was the house in Pennsylvania with the waterfall by far. Who wouldn't want to live there?

Crazy houses! Tom and I would SO live in that upside-down house, and the one that looks like it was cracked down the middle...but then, we're a little upside-down and cracked ourselves, so they just fit our personalities, hahaha!

Great hub and wonderful pics!

Great hub! Yes, Fallingwater is one of my fav's. I have A Frank Lloyd Wright hub in case anyone is interested. I have showcased many of these in various hubs I've done, but you absolutely found some great ones I hadn't seen. Cool architecture just does something to me. :)

Nice. Its amazing what people will come up with, with a little creativity, money and spare time. Never live normal if you don't have to!
