When we talk about houses, we usually think of four walls, a roof and a door… but there are those who decided to break with convention. According to the most popular Google searches and several international rankings, these are the 7 rarest houses in the world. Get ready to be amazed.

1. THE STONE HOUSE (PORTUGAL)

Built between four huge natural rocks, it seems camouflaged by the mountainous surroundings. It has a gabled roof, small windows and a wooden door that looks like something out of another century. From afar, it looks like a cave… but with style.

2. LA CASA BOLHA (FRANCE)

Designed by architect Antti Lovag, this house looks like a giant bubble made of pink concrete. All the rooms are spherical in shape, with no angles or corners. Round windows and furniture built into the walls complete the galactic look.

3. THE INVERTED HOUSE (POLAND)

A house that is literally upside down: the roof touches the floor and the windows look down. Inside, all the furniture is also upside down, as if you were walking on the ceiling. It was designed as an artistic critique of the system, and today it is a must-see tourist attraction.

4. LA CASA NAUTICA (MEXICO)

Located in Naucalpan, this house is shaped like a seashell or giant snail. The structure is painted white and blue, with curved shapes that simulate waves. Inside, everything follows the marine style: oval windows and open spaces.

5. THE HOUSE OF THE SHOE (UNITED STATES)

It looks like something out of a children’s fairy tale: a house in the shape of a brown leather shoe, laces and all. It has two floors, windows on the sides and a small terrace on top of the ‘heel’. It was built in 1948 as a publicity stunt.

6. LA TOILETTE HOUSE (SOUTH KOREA)

A house in the shape of a giant toilet, bright white in colour and with a curved structure. From above, the roof looks like a raised lid. It has large windows and was built to promote access to decent toilets around the world.

7. THE TRANSPARENT HOUSE (JAPAN)

Made almost entirely of glass, there are no solid walls or curtains. The structure is supported by white beams and levels divided by floating platforms. It is like living in a designer showcase: modern, minimalist and extremely bright.

These houses show us that architectural creativity has no limits. But if you are looking for something more cosy, beautiful and practical to live (or invest) in, we invite you to discover Font del Llop Village. A residential paradise where modern design, natural tranquillity and sport come together in harmony.
