It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a . . . House?
Houses shaped like every object imaginable and in constructions you'll never believe
There once was an old woman who lived in a shoe—but we’ve found people living in toilets, guitars, pineapples and other object-shaped homes. Unbelievable, right? That's what we thought too, until we did a little research. See our roundup of the most unusual homes and get the answers to why, how, and who would ever live in a toilet shaped house.


The House that Makes you Lose Weight
Forget the Stairmaster in the basement. What if the house itself was your Stairmaster. Hungry? Climb the ladder to the kitchen. Want a shower? Use the two-story rock wall to get to the bathroom. There's no way around it. These houses were designed to be fat-free, to make you move even if it means having to strap on skis to get there. Author of High Fit Home, Joan Vos MacDonald, strongly advocates "designing the whole home so that people are encouraged and even enticed into walking or moving during the course of their regular activities." The house that inspires (or, in many cases, forces) you off the couch is the house that make you lose weight. Our only question: Where can we get one too?


Ty Pennington: Why I Love This House
Modern design is where it's at for me, and this place is one awesome example
Elliott Himelfarb and Janet Minker had walked past the featureless Bethesda, Maryland, house hundreds of times but, says Elliott, "There's something about a 'for sale' sign that gets your attention." They took a second look—and a third—and discovered that hidden behind an uninspiring facade of shiplap siding and orangey bricks was a tidy cube of early 1960s modernism set in a deep lot planted with cherry trees, poplars and dogwoods. Modernist aficionados and devoted gardeners, Janet and Elliott saw the potential that others had missed.
