There is a round house in my home town of Urbana Illinois but it is not on legs, but dug into the ground. One of childhood friends lived there. Our own house was a new concept house that was built with concrete blue brick, had two fire places one upstairs and one the basement. Heating coils in the floor, and ice melting coils in the driveway. My father was a mechanical engineer and for the most part built it all by himself. He started it in 1950 and finished it in 1951 the year I was born. We eventually added a solar panel roof. He wrote two books on solar energy before it became popular.
The dumpster house would be heaven compared to a cardboard box, a tent, or even under a bridge. Those would be great if they were in big cities. I know I would have loved one, clean one, when I was homeless. I’m not that way now but I would have wanted one.
I'm glad you're doing ok, no one should be homeless ever. The dumpster house is pretty cool. It was featured in a few consecutive episodes of ' 2 Broke Girls ' on network television. You can probably find a clip on RUclips of the characters having a party inside the dumpster house. This video doesn't really show the inside in action. In the episode, the guy who lived in the dumpster was the son of a billionaire who wanted to be close to Max, his humble but hardworking girlfriend. Once she found out he was rich and met his family, Max and her entrepreneurial partner in the cupcake business Carolyne, got him stoned on serious weed. While he was passed out, the two girls pushed the dumpster house with him in it, back to the rich, Upper East Side where his wealthy parents and he lived. The character and the dumpster were never seen again!
I am glad that you have a home now, Ms. Fehrle. No one should live without their own home. I, too, was homeless many years ago and I know how terrible it is not to be able to go inside your safe place and simply lock the door. May life continue to treat you well. Be blessed.
Honestly, if copies of the dumpster house could be produced cheaply and placed somewhere safe, it would be great short-term housing for people who would otherwise be homeless. Though I imagine a lot of cities would not leap to have something like a whole lot of dumpster homes in the middle of their downtown area.
I think we both have very different definitions about what a "bad" house design is. I thought a lot of these were interesting, thought-provoking, and sometimes beautiful.
I like Habitat 67- the stepped design means if there's a massive fire you could drop from unit to unit to the ground. You might want to keep an extendable ladder on hand, but I'd take it over an ugly and dangerous high-rise any day. Not sure how it would fare in an earthquake, tornado or hurricane. Hopefully it's sturdy enough to handle those. But I like the overall intent, and it looks like the units have more privacy and airflow than regular apartments.
i live in MOntreal and let me tell you Habitat 67 is a masterpiece and is now some of the most sought after real estate in the city and yes it isn't the social housing it was intended to be but it is revered.
These were so much fun!! The Glass house is totally ridiculous. I loved the "Sharknado" house, couldn't stop laughing, the fat house and the igloos were adorable and I totally loved the Spaceship house. Thank you so much for making the video and making me giggle. :o)
I don't know if I would call most of these designs bad, as opposed to intriguing and artistic, especially when we are seeing so many people downsizing their homes. Some of these I would definitely consider as a home, ESPECIALLY because they are unique and different.
That's what I thought, too; "How in the world would anyone equate being hit by a bomb as having a shark dive headfirst into their house???" 'Sharknado' was the first thing I thought when I saw that, but guess I'm not sufficiently versed in how other countries think.
The English "crematorium" is so typical of "council" housing for the poor. These ugly and depressing heaps were lauded by the country's leading architects who despise traditional building materials and design. The brooding and shodding-looking creations WERE shoddy and soon developed all sorts of problems just like the creations of that self-proclaimed "genius", Le Corbusier. Modern architects do not respect the needs of their clients or the nature of the surrounding neighborhoods because it is all about their "groundbreaking genius". Have you seen recent photos of the Houses of Parliament? Huge bizarre and wonky buildings now loom behind them and dominate the skyline. Londoners hate them and give them demeaning nicknames like The Walkie Talkie and The Glass Testicle and those architectural awfuls deserve it.
Lubbock, Texas! My hometown! Texas Tech University built a miniature model of a similar house outside the Architecture building on the campus when I was studying there. Definitely a unique home, no doubt!
Some of the designs I really like; The Steel House, (must be heavily insulated though, or it would get as hot as an oven in there), and the Dome Houses with naturally insulated roofs.. The Shiga house in Japan was imo very well designed for such a narrow space. I can imagine however that for someone with a more traditional taste, these concepts are not aesthetically pleasing.. The leaning apartment buildings..bad construction that should NEVER be allowed anywhere- they should be condemned!! Some designs stretch the bad design concept as they're exhibition pieces, and the dumpster house seems like a statement, or a personal challenge. Oh and, beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
This video's title is ridiculous. These are not even close to the worst house designs, not even if you only consider the aesthetics. "15 UNUSUAL House Designs" would've been much better, or whichever other title you guys haven't used yet but doesn't make these houses the worst designs.
Upon seeing the "Fat House" (Number 7), I initially thought that it looked like it was made out of snow (very poorly made), and that it could be the house of Olaf from Disney's animated movie, "Frozen" (when he wasn't at the beach getting a tan anyways)! 😝 Crap… I got that stupid song stuck in my head now! "Do you want to build a snowman?" UGH! **full body shiver** 😖
"Pushing the limits of design and taste." To be sure. You can see that on some of these home improvement shows. Bargain Block comes to mind as an example in some cases.
I absolutely love the igloo house concept. I think they look great, and would eventually be adorable little hobbit homes, though I think it would make more sense to build them partially into a hill for the aesthetic. Would totally live in one.
The narrator apparently has never been homeless; every house on here, except the Keret house in Poland, would be most welcome to anyone who's experienced homelessness---I know from firsthand experience!---and some of them would be perfectly fine as permanent homes. Also, the house in Shiga, Japan, is much more than the awful narrative states; the house has more room than is shown in the poor photos, and the family that had it built originally made it into a really beautiful, light-filled space for themselves. Unfortunately, there's only this dreary clip of it here, but if one can find it, there's an entire article on it showcasing its amazingly compact, but very useful, design and layout.
I recall Expo '67 and l'Habitat. This Israeli architect saw this creation as cutting edge. It turned out that many of its inhabitants grew to hate the place. That now it's expensive to live there comes from the place's uniqueness and l would say snob appeal. So with Le Courbusier's l'Unite in France, it too failed to achieve its original purpose, namely to provide mass housing. The people who had to live there hated living there and now the ugly place is full of cultured snobs who feel that they are basking in the "genius" of the cold-hearted egotist who built it.
Actually, once he did that, he caught the interest of a number of architects and architectural students and a number of dumpster-houses were made. I have no idea if they ever got used, or what happened to them, not being anywhere near NYC, but it was an interesting concept, and the group really did a great job of turning the dreary boxes into light-filled, airy spaces that were far, FAR better than sleeping on the streets!
I'm sure it does---but homelessness is far worse than living inside any kind of steel dwelling. Been there, know it firsthand. Desperation means people will seek out any reasonable form of shelter to get through life. I had my car to live in; not the greatest space, but because I was working, I also had a place to take a shower every day, and to get all the meals I wanted (I worked in a hospital). Most homeless people don't have even that, so living in a steel shelter might be the only solution some may have for now.
The house in japan needs windows the the fat house and dumpster house are super cool . The dumpster house has been around awhile maxs bf lived in 1 on the show 2 broke girls . The santos buildings on sand are scary id never go in there.

True. The architecture is nice. Love it: ruclips.net/video/EdoZMurKQJA/видео.html
If you can live there without absurd burden and inconvenience, it's not so bad.

The spaceship house could be fun as an airbnb

No no, the shark reminds us of Sharknado lol. If he wanted to represent a bomb he should have put a damn bomb up there not a shark!!

I thought it looked like a marshmallow house 🤪
#4 I'd be worried that a truck would come along and try to "empty" my dumpster house while I was asleep. LOL
What a ridiculous list … I love it! 😍👍✨
La maison engin spatial n'est pas la seule au monde et moi je la trouve intéressante, amusante et avec beaucoup de place à l'intérieur
I just loved all of the designs 😍😍
They were amazing ❤❤❤❤
For many of us, our home is the most valuable asset we will ever own. Some of these houses do not look like a good investment.

I quite like some of these homes. So much better than living in a concrete and glass box, or cookie cutter single family homes.
I absolutely love the igloo house concept. I think they look great, and would eventually be adorable little hobbit homes, though I think it would make more sense to build them partially into a hill for the aesthetic. Would totally live in one.
I can understand ‘weirdest’ or ‘strangest’…. even ‘craziest’ but worst? Your title is just stupid click bait.
Shark on the roof .. Remnants of the movie "Sharknado"
That transparent house is a Peeping Tom's dream come true-And a shy person's NIGHTMARE!
It must have been exhausting gutting an empty steel dumpster.
Oh come on, how far fetched is that “Hitler house”? You’d have to have a pretty but imagination to see Hitler’s face in its facade. Crazy!
Yeah lol that's a far stretch to compare that house with Hitler, it just looks like a not so beautiful but comfy home to me.
I live 10 minutes away from the UFO house in Chattanooga. Went through it during an open house showing; it is the most unusual house I've ever seen.
My family saw the « habitat « 67 when we went Expo. Amazing how items inside that were supposed futuristic probably are old fashion now in 2022
I'd say the hands down the worst design was the transparent house. All the others had at least privacy
#4 was good one. For those people who dumpster dive, that dumpster house would be great.
That last one gave me anxiety, lol
Pensacola Beach had a spaceship house also😁🤣
These houses are all really cool. What are you talking about, "worst houses", indeed? I'd be so happy if I could live in any of several of them.
The narrator apparently has never been homeless; every house on here, except the Keret house in Poland, would be most welcome to anyone who's experienced homelessness---I know from firsthand experience!---and some of them would be perfectly fine as permanent homes.

I would imagine that somebody else, a researcher would put this list together & it's script. I'd say the narrator does just that, narrate
It's called a studio apartment
I like the LARDON HOUSE- the moniker is a propos- don’t you think?
Chris k a n e helped Roger Waters tear down the wall.
I hope that man in the dumpster house doesn't need all that alcohol to live in the dumpster house 🤭
I love Habitat 67!
These were cool houses. Any house is better than homelessness.
The last one was probably the best home for an introvert

Are they serious about that Hitler house? That is stretching it pretty far....ridiculous!
Wouldnt a dumpster house be a bad idea due to the metal?
A steel house in Texas summer, may god have mercy on your soul if you live there.
i do love the japan house its better than then other all
They’re all horrible except for the one in Montreal.
Worst or worst/coolest
the dumpster? in NYC? Get ready for the infamous NYC rats. Let this one NOT catch on, pleez!

What the heck is up with the trees around the San Francisco house at 12:35 - 12:45? They don't look real! Are they computer simulations of trees?
Most probably Google Earth images
Habitat 67 was designed by Israeli-Canadian Architect Moshe Safdie
You do not want to live in steel!! It sucks!
I'm sure it does---but homelessness is far worse than living inside any kind of steel dwelling. Been there, know it firsthand. Desperation means people will seek out any reasonable form of shelter to get through life.
