Many of us strive to be unique and stand out from the crowd. We express ourselves through the clothes we wear, our totally rad hairstyles, and what we talk about. But probably the most significant statement that we can make about our character is by choosing where we live and work. Would we love to work in a giant panda-shaped building? Definitely. Would yours truly like to live in a moody Victorian châtelet in the middle of some mysterious misty mountain woods that you couldn’t find on a map? You’d better believe it, but only if it had a haunted greenhouse and plenty of rainfall. [Cue lightning and thunder.]
The world is chock full of wonderfully weird and unbelievably beautiful architecture, and the ‘Bizarre Buildings’ subreddit documents the best of the bunch. Sure, some of these places look extremely unpractical for anyone inside… but gosh! Look at how impressive they are! Scroll down to enter the r/bizarrebuildings rabbit hole, and don’t panic if you meet Alice. Remember to upvote your fave pics, and let us know which of these places you’d love to visit (and potentially even live in!) the most.
Oh, and if you thought this was it, then hold on to your hats. For those of you who weren’t here the last time, definitely check out our previous piece about the subreddit right over here (why, yes, that is a cat-shaped building) when you’re done enjoying this fresh new list.
Don’t forget to read Bored Panda’s interview about dream home designs with Ariane Sherine, the editor at ‘These Three Rooms.’ Are you ready to have your imaginations expanded, dear Pandas? Don’t blame us if you end up daydreaming about the perfect home all afternoon, though.
