Japan - Transparent House - There are not many houses that could match the uniqueness of this house. The concept of this crazy transparent house in Japan makes all of the walls around the house disappear. A transparent but strong glass wall is placed to make the house's structure. With such concept, the inside can be easily seen by people outside. There is nothing to hide, and you can see every detail of the house and what the residents are doing inside the house. One function that should be mentioned is that the house is flooded by a large amount of light exposure. Therefore, the house does not need to consume any electricity energy during the day. Would you feel comfortable living in this house knowing that everyone could see inside?

Mexico - Giant Seashell House - This giant seashell house is located in Mexico City, and was built and designed by Arquitectura Organica's own Javier Senosiain.

Germany - Smallest House - As the child of refugees growing up in Germany, architect Bo Le-Mentzal spent much of his life thinking about the meaning of the word "home." Now, he's hoping to spur others to think as well with a new creation that he's calling the world's smallest house. The One Square-Meter House is exactly what it sounds like - a tiny structure that provides just enough room to sit or, when tilted on its side, to lie down and sleep. The native of Laos, Le-Mentzal is giving away the plans and says that, using common materials, the house can be built for about $300. It has a roof, a lockable door, a foldout desk and a window. And that's about it. Could you live in this small of a house?
