Silly? No. Silly you? Yes. The snail house and the Japanese apartments are works of art.

I did not like his narrative - He was too negative and judgemental - I thought everything was fascinating and showed great creativity

[@waterdevilhaqa2745]

I agree

[@noodengr3three825]

As a staunch defender of individual rights I would welcome any of these homes in my neighborhood. To each his own and truly celebrate diversity

[@cmont4064]

I absolutely agree with you, to many cookie cutter homes!

[@catstreat9434]

There are a couple of glaring exceptions (the glass house, which would give me psychosis in about 5 minutes, and the upside down house, same) but several of those homes I'd be both happy and proud to live in.

[@ccook900]

I agree. Why do we insist that houses fit the same mold, pay into an HOA that makes us maintain that cookie cutter look but then spend the rest of our time trying to stand out?

My sentiments exactly!!! I loved all of them. I would live in any of them except the one that is transparent where everybody can see what you're doing at all times, I would put a couple of curtains up like in my bedroom for number one. The bathroom would be the other place for curtains. Other than that they are all awesome.

[@LatinSlav]

1:38 ''inspired by a spanish architect called Gaudi'' :)) this phrase and the tone he said it is hilarious, like Gaudi was just another architect . He was more than that,he is one of the best architects,painters,artist the world has ever had! Just like you can't say a ''painter named Picasso'' :))

[@colleta2400]

Serban how exactly would one present an architect? painter? you give their origin because Serban art is influenced by culture, therefore, in presentation of an architect it is critical to state their national origin "Spainish architect named Gaudi" or "American Franklin Lloyd Wright born in Wisconsin" yes Serban one must absolutely name the "state of origin" of the artists which also includes writers. Any architect, artist, or writer would expect their "state of origin" announced their work is influenced by it. Did you overlook, ignore, or plug your ears to how the narrator announced the "State of origin" of all the artists and architects that built these houses? EXPECTED and OFFENSIVE if not stated.

[@jacquelinewesson1202]

Love that ‘gaudi inspired house’ Feel that the narrator has no imagination

[@Sasika95]

As soon as he said it I had to see what the comment section had to say about this 😂 I was like: why the heck is saying it like Gaudi was some unknown architect

I thought the "stained glass" wall was pretty awesome. I really liked how each piece of colored glass was separated from the others. The other glass elements inside were neat, too (the clear pebbles as a kitchen backsplash, and the blue tile squares for what looked like the bathroom area).

The negativity of the narrator shitting on all of these unique homes makes for a judge-y and preachy sounding video. Don't talk about unique and non-conformist art pieces and sneer at them. Celebrate human creativity and ingenuity.

I mean, the cooperation warms the heart any way, but the contrast really makes an impact.

[@YTjennifer]

The Bat Casa - not. The only thing about that house that even remotely brings to mind Batman is the spray-painted bat symbol on the outer gate. The house itself is bright white (not at all like the Dark Knight's abode). If anything, it should've been called the Bone House. It looks a lot like weathered bones.

[@suzykeene9298]

Can't put love on this video even though I adore these fantastic houses - I dislike the unnecessary judgmental narration.

[@rhondawileman1466]

Well said! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 How about all the homeless men, women, children and veterans out there that would be greatful for any roof over their head, reguardless of the design!?!? Any house to call home is always better than not having a stable roof over your head at all! This narrator, if you ask me that is, really came off as ignorant and disrespectful in this video! Weather he intended to be rude or not is beside the point cuz a grown adult knows right from wrong, period! There is no excuse for anyone to be rude and ignorant towards a person, no matter where or what house they live in! 🤦🤦😒😑🙄😞

When I was a kid Cedar Point had an upside down house as an attraction, it was one of my favorites. There was a rocking chair on the ceiling with an old lady in it and a cat on her lap. It was so cool.

jodi-- i remember that!

[@D0S81]

why do you keep putting them all down for? ''while its great that it exists, would your eally want something like this [fusterlandia] down the street from where *you* lived?'' heck yeah, its nice n colourful, and would make you smile everytime you saw it. ''no matter the artistic creativity, and ability on display, its still, at its core, just a house covered in beer cans'' thats like saying the Mona Lisa is just a piece of paper with paint on it?! at least its better than the rest of the boring houses. ''when it comes down to it, this house [seashell house] is more style than substance'' erm no, its style gives it its substance, and the people living there will probably makes some amazing memories there, if thats not substance i don't know what is. ''...if your one of the neighbours to this place [destiny lofts] you might well wish they weren't so sturdily constructed'' what?! are you nuts, those things looks awesome, the colour scheme alone is enough to make you smile when you see it. i'd live in one, let alone be a neighbour ''no matter how you look at it, this surely is a [hobbit] house that only has a place on a film set'' why? it looks cozy as hell, it looks better than the square pieces of boring most of us live in. ''you can't help but look at it [transparent house] and think how silly it is'' no way, if the people really wanted privacy, they wouldn't live in see through house, and if they want privacy now and again, all they have to do iis put a curtain up or too, but they haven't. and its not silly, if anything it probably brings them closer together socially, its better than everyone being in twelves separate rooms from each other and only seeing each other at meal times. its not silly, its unusually interesting, but not silly. ''no matter how amazing it might be, its also incredibly silly'' not really, he's got a better view than most people in the world, and not only that, but from the ground, it blends in with the skinny tall trees. variety is the spice of life, so if anything this video should have been called ''world's spiciest houses'' without 'ART' the 'eARTh' would just be 'eh'

Those houses were awesome works of art.

Head of the home owners' association, gag! I own my own home and I love that I can be creative. My neighbors especially love the holidays because I make my own giant decorations. They are all retired and have perfect homes and lawns but surprisingly don't give me grief since I am artistic.

The house shown for the "Flinstone House" is actually 2 homes being shown as one and the same. The first one I guess is Dick Clark's, not sure but the second one with the purple and burnt orange colors is not located in Malibu. It's located in San Mateo County, California. You can see it driving North on Highway 280 just as you cross over the 92 bridge. For years the home was white and had traditional landscaping. Can't recall who purchased the home after but that's when they painted it more vibrant colors and redid the landscape.
