25 Incredible Houses That Are One-of-a-Kind

Whether you’re into an off-the-grid lifestyle or you’d prefer the lap of luxury, there are some beautiful and well-crafted homes in the world that can provide just that.

Each with unique backstories and inspirations, these houses may provide you with some motivation for booking your next Airbnb.

Located around the world, many architects have built homes to serve a purpose like sustainability, minimalism, a vegetable garden in the kitchen or a complete view of the ocean below.

Some of these houses are zero-waste and some were practically built for a king, but all of them are impressive examples of craftsmanship.

House Inside a Rock

The House Inside a Rock was imagined as the perfect juxtaposition of modern architecture and nature. The ground floor entrance leads up to a living area and rooftop access, featuring an incredible pool under the sky.

The entire home would be built of smooth concrete to work against the natural shape of the rock and provide visual contrast.

Sky Garden House

This house in Singapore was created by Guz Architects who utilized sustainable materials to make this one-of-a-kind home.

Their hope was to create a gentle transition from outdoors to indoors that would encourage more outdoor activities and provide ample room for gardening and land utilization.

Floating Seahorse

This $1.8 million home features luxuries most people can only imagine. The house, which is located just off the coast of Dubai, has three floors, including one that is totally underwater.

This floor includes the master bedroom, which is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows to give you a full view of the ocean around you.

Ecocapsule

An easy-to-transport option for nomads, the Ecocapsule provides options for solar energy and wind energy to be utilized.

This completely off-the-grid home has a sleek, stylized interior that feels roomy, despite the entire capsule only being about 15 feet long. And at about $90,000, living sustainably doesn’t sound so bad.
