Have you ever stumbled upon a house that made you do a double-take? From quirky designs to bizarre facades, some homes are architectural marvels that leave us both puzzled and amazed. In this article, we’re diving into ten incredible houses covered in something truly strange. Whether it’s plants, mirrors, or even recycled materials, these homes are sure to spark your curiosity and imagination. And if you’re feeling inspired to make a move or showcase your unique property, remember it’s never been easier to sell your house online in the UK. Let’s embark on this extraordinary journey of unusual abodes!
House covered in snow
We are still having some snow here in the UK (mostly Scotland) and many people are wondering if we will ever see summer this year. But when you end up with houses that look this amazing covered unintentionally in snow I think it is always beautiful to see.
House covered in money
This was in fact done for an advert for ArgosCompare.co.uk because they were trying to show just how much money they could save the entire UK if they used their market compare service. In fact, it turns out to be £12 billion and the entire house we wrapped in wrapping paper made to look like £50 notes. Shame it wasn’t real ones because that would have just been silly!
House covered in glue
This rather odd building used to be a number of different things including a prison-house, school and even a funeral home! French artists Christophe Berdaguer and Marie Péjus decided that one year they would give this now family home a ghostly cloak of polystyrene and paint to make it look like glue or some sort of ghost. Strangely it is kind of cool!
House overgrown by plants
When a homeowner decided that Cannock Chase Council was talking rubbish about his overgrown home (that he owned) he let it get worse and worse until it was at its peak that you see in the image. It has now been cut back but it does make you wonder if any sunlight even managed to get inside.
House covered in mirrors
The artist Harumi Yukutake agrees with me and thinks that the outside of a home does need to be seen and so he covered it with thousands of mirrors with the idea being that it blended in with its natural surroundings. Did it work? I think so.
House covered in silage wrap
Having just returned from their honeymoon Neale and Alana Grant returned to find that the best man at the wedding was in fact wrapped the whole house in silage wrap! The wrap is normally used to wrap those large round bails of hay you see in the farmer fields so you just know it was ultra strong and took a while to get into their home again.
House covered in bottle tops
This home in Russia is covered in over 30,000 bottle tops! The homeowner Olga Kostina spent several years taking the plastic tops on, but I do have to wonder where she got them all from because let’s face it, that is an awful lot of whatever liquid it was.
House covered in Dalmatian spots
This might look like a cool home but sadly it is a bit of a sad story, you see when Goran Tomasic and his wife came home one day their much-loved Dalmatian had sadly passed away. So out of respect, they painted their entire house in Dalmatian spots. Sure it is a little odd, but the home also looks kind of cool as well!
House covered in flowers
This home in Scotland that is almost completely covered in flowers and hanging baskets is stunning to look at and well worth going to see in person. But let us face it! It would take forever in a day to replicate it and there ain’t nobody that got time for that!
House covered in Japanese creeper vine
Strangely, these Japanese creeper vines might well look like ivy, but they are definitely not. More commonly known as Boston ivy or Grape ivy, but they mostly well know because these vines grow like growth was going out of fashion and will cover a whole house like you see above in just a matter of months, yes that is from scratch! Super growth indeed, but also super cool because it might well be invasive but it does make a house look amazing.
