Some of these houses are beautiful but some of them look kind of scary.

And I always thought Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water" was awesome.

Some are quite interesting, some are quite lovely photoshopped designs. Of the ones that are real, the imagination never for artists.

We also have the

Portabello Mansion of Corona Del Mar

It is said this mansion apparently has no straight lines at all.

Fun seed!

I'm probably going to dream that I live in a strange, beautiful, sun-filled house tonight.

At least one can dream...

Like the title says, some of these houses are outright strange and unusual, but they also are unbelievably creative!

Of course, all the houses can't be described as optimum choices in terms of comfort or feasibility, or even accessibility, but that is a personal choice, and everyone has a different perception of an 'ideal home'.

I think that the time and energy that people have spent in making these homes is incredible. I can't help but t have mixed sentiments of being amused and amazed at the same time!
