With everyone becoming more conscious of their carbon footprint and all that jazz, people are getting more creative when it comes to their homes. Although not everyone are as concerned about the environment as others, we still came across some strange homes. Here are a few properties that will give any property evaluator a headache when it comes to home property value.
The first one that caught my eye was a house in Taree, Australia. It is known by the name Everingham Rotating House. This house is turned by two 500-Watt electric motors that powers a rotating drive consisting of 32 outrigger wheels. The wiring and plumbing is centralized to prevent it from getting in the way when the house turns. A full rotation may take anything from 30 minutes to two hours.
The second note worthy home is situated in Lubbock, Texas in the United States. This house is called the steel house and is really a looker. This house is some sort of mixture between a transformer and a predator like animal. This home is an ongoing project and the owner approaches it like a sculpture, not conforming to the norm of building around a structure or skeleton.
My favorite of the bunch is the Chameleon House in Northport, Michigan. Despite consisting of more than three floors, it took less than eight weeks to build this house. The reason for such a swift assembly is because most of the materials used was prefabricated. The steel frame of the house is wrapped in acrylic steel slats that reflect the color of the environment, hence the name, Chameleon House.
There can be no doubt that a house valuation for one of these properties would cause some interesting moments.
