  2. MigraineBoy says:

    #6 and #22… I want to live there…with a sexy Chivette… It will be mine. Oh yes! It will be mine.

  3. tommybhoy says:

    Is it wrong of me to judge the homes on how i will be able to get there whilst drunk?

    #20 would be a challenge

  4. Anakrusix says:

    #25 looks like it is darn relaxing!

  5. BigDingo says:

    I'd love to live in #6 or #10 and keep #25 for a vacation home.

  6. AtomManhattan says:

    If I recall correctly, #6 has the stream running right through the center of the house.
    But yeah…must be nice to have money.

  7. Trent says:

    #8 is Cappadocia, Turkey. If I remember correctly its at the Goreme Open Air Museum.

  13. Dan says:

    Number 12 is in Romania.It's called Danil Sihastru's Cave

  14. Yeahbeer says:

    #6 Frank lloyd wright house in PA, All the ceilings are too short in the house, he was a short man and designed the house around his height so all the ceilings are like only 7'
    yes the stream goes right under the house

    • Steve says:

      Wright was about 5' 9" tall and considered anyone over six feet tall to be a "weed". I have toured Falling Water several times – the ceilings are almost uniformly 6' 4" high, with doorways a few inches shorter. There is a fair amount of my blood on the ceilings at Falling Water as I am also 6' 4" tall.

      His reasoning for the low ceilings was to force perspective out of the house. It works, in fact, as one has little choice to look outside due to the "confined" ceilings.

  15. Henry Gibson says:

    Evidently the environment for #2 is 1977.

  16. mase says:

    nothing beats #6

  17. Ambrocious says:

    #17 totally looks like it came out of Bedrock…

    Sweet post.

  18. top dog says:

    I would like to see what the inside of #16, #18 and #24 look like, I can live there.

    • J... says:

      the first one you listed #16 is on an episode of teen cribs. (and yes I know it's sad I know that) It used to be a bomb shelter then a concert venue before the current home owners renovated it.

  19. Dave says:

    #17 Flintstones…meet the Flintstones….there a modern stoneaged familyyyy……

  20. Marc says:

    #1 was built in Britain by a man named Simon Dale for only three-thousand pounds, which is about five-thousand in U.S. dollars.He and his wife and two children live in it now, and it has all the same basic amenities as any normal home, despite the rustic, simple look.

    But it's a very eco-friendly home because it was built with all natural and local materials, and it's a very self-sufficient home because they use a gravity-fed spring for their water supply, and solar panels for their electricity needs.

    If anyone's interested, his website has a lot more incredible pictures of the inside: simondale.net/house And no, I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, nor was I paid for this comment :P

    Personally, I think it's goddamn awesome that someone can build a functioning, beautiful home for five-thousand dollars.

    TODAY'S CHIVE'S COLLECTION IS THE BEST E V E R !!!

  22. [...] Wer ein eigenes Häuschen plant und es sehr individuell mag, der wird vielleicht hier fündig. Dort kann man 25 Häuschen bewundern, die definitiv nicht alltäglich sind. Manches würde ich wohl auch nicht betreten, da erscheint mir die Konstruktion arg wackelig. Aber überzeugt euch doch selbst, dazu bitte hier entlang. [...]

  23. wawaa says:

    #6 is Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright in PA, I've toured it once before they redid it. does any1 else know where the others are from?

  24. slick says:

    I've thought of building a home like one of these, but I need #25 now.

  25. googboog says:

    all these places would be pretty fucking scary at night, with no neighbors around…
