Would You Live in Any of These?

In the spirit of April Fool's Day, these outlandish structures display architectural humor and prankishness. And—far from foolish—some of them are darned well-designed, too.

Favorite by far is the one sconced in the cliff. The Noah’s Ark on the prairie is cool, too. The rest suck.

Oh, my. I wonder if a women with so many kids she doesn't know what to do, lives in that house that looks like a shoe?

Hey, it would be a perfect house for the Octo-Mom!

Oh, and that first one looks like it landed upside down after a tornado.

The fourth one in the first post was that postmaster-general’s house that attracted controversy over its renovation, wasn't it?

Yes, that is my favorite too.

During my travels, I have seen houses built into hills and mountains-most of them have looked good.

I think that it IS supposed to look like a toilet. The entire inside is also themed around toilets and water conservation (Korean??) IIRC. My son did a short report on it - the guy built it to bring awareness to water conservation, development, etc.

The one built into the side of a cliff would be tornado resistant.
