Uniq Houses Around d World

2011-06-27T05:16:00.000-07:00

Uniq Houses Around d World

Houses types and styles vary greatly according to region, climate, culture and tradition :

Earth House

This unique house is located in Switzerland. It is an earth house, an architectural style characterized by the use of natural terrain to help form the walls of a house. An earth house is usually set partially into the ground and covered with thin growth, and is often intended to have a small ecological footprint.

Rondavel
This pretty amazing house is called a rondavel, a traditional African-style house. They are usually round in shape and traditionally made with materials that can be locally obtained in raw form. The rondavel's walls are often constructed from stones. The mortar may consist of sand, soil, or some combinations of these mixed with dung. The floor is finished with a processed dung mixture to make it smooth. The roof braces of a rondavel are made out of tree limbs, which have been harvested and cut to length. The roof itself is made out of thatch that is sewn to the wooden braces with rope made out of grass.

Shell House

One distinct house is the Shell house. It is the most original house in Mexico or maybe in the world. It is one of the most beautiful houses you will surely enjoy. It is located in Isla Mujeres northeast of Yucatan peninsula in the Caribbean Sea.

Rumah gadang

Rumah gadang which means "big house", are the traditional homes of the Minangkabau. The architecture, construction, internal and external decoration, and the functions of the house reflect the culture and values of the Minangkabau. A rumah gadang serves as a residence, a hall for family meetings, and for ceremonial activities. With the Minangkabau society being matrilineal, the rumah gadang is owned by the women of the family who live there - ownership is passed from mother to daughter.

Toda Hut

The peculiar hut of a Toda Tribe of Nilgiris, India is noted for the decoration of the front wall, and the very small door. The Toda people are a small pastoral community who live on the isolated Nilgiri plateau of Southern India. Prior to the late eighteenth century, the Toda coexisted locally with other communities, including the Badaga, Kota, and Kurumba, in a loose caste-like community organization in which the Toda were the top ranking.

Korowai Tree House

This bizarre house is home to the bizarre tribe called the Korowai or also called the Kolufo. They are a people of southeastern Papua (i.e., the southeastern part of the western part of New Guinea). Until the 1970s, they were unaware of the existence of any people besides themselves and some immediately neighboring villages. Only a few of them have become literate thus far. They are one of the few surviving peoples in the world that are thought to possibly still engage in cannibalism. Others dispute this, saying that these practices ended decades ago and that there have been no reported instances of cannibalism in over twenty years.

Trulli House

Trulli houses, distinguished by conical store roof, are traditional in the southeastern region Apulia, Italy.

Palloza

A palloza is a traditional thatched house as found in the in Galicia, Spain. They are circular or oval, and about ten ortwenty meters in diameter. These houses are built to withstand severe winter weather at a typical altitude of 1,200 meters. The main structure is stone, and is divided internally into separate areas for the family and their animals, with separate entrances. The roof is conical, made from rye straw on a wooden frame. There is no chimney, the smoke from the kitchen fire seeps out through the thatch.

Farmhouse

Earth sheltering is the architectural practice of using earth against building walls for external thermal mass, to reduce heat loss, and to easily maintain a steady indoor air temperature. Earth sheltering is popular in modern times among advocates of passive solar and sustainable architecture, but has been around for nearly as long as humans have been constructing their own shelter. The picture above is Earth covered farm houses located in Keldur, Iceland.

Crannog

A crannog is an artificial island, usually originally built in lakes, rivers and estuarine waters, and most often used as an island settlement or dwelling place in prehistoric or medieval times. The name itself may refer to a wooden platform erected on shallow floors, but few remains of this sort have been found.

Mardin Stone Houses:

TurkeyThis Arab-style architecture is located in Mardin, a city in southeastern Turkey. It is commonly recognized for its Arab-style architecture, and it also has a strategic position on a rocky mountain overlooking the plains of northern Syria.

Beehive Mud Houses:
Harran, Turkey

These traditional mud houses are located in Harran. The interesting thing about them is that they were constructed entirely without the use of wood. The design of these mud houses is believed to have stayed the same for at least 3,000 years, until about the 1980s, when they officially stopped being used as living space.

Tongkonan -
Toraja People House: Sulawesi,
IndonesiaThese distinctive wooden houses have curved roofs with tall gable ends that make them look likes boats. The houses are built on stilts and are entered by curved steps and beautifully decorated doorways. They are the homes of the Toraja peoples, who live in central Sulawesi.

House of Marsh Arabs: Iraq

The Houses of the Marsh Arabs are built from reeds. They are often constructed on floating platforms woven from tips of reeds still growing up out of the swamp. The people travel around by canoe. The Marsh Arabs' lifestyle is threatened by drainage projects that are taking water from swamps, causing them to dry up.

Log Cabin House: USA

The log cabin house is among the first house designs of early America. It is sturdy and easy to construct, and can be built by hand to provide shelter in a very short period of time.

Reed Houses and Boats:
Lake Titicaca, Peru

The Uru people living around Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable lake in the world) build their boats and houses out of reeds. Clusters of houses stand on floating rafts, which are also made of reeds.

Blockhouse: USA

A blockhouse in Muskegon State Park, Michigan

This typical pioneer fort was designed to defend the community from attacks of Indians. Early American settlers built long blockhouses to defend themselves against Indians. The logs were pierced with slits through which defending riflemen could fire.

Celtic Hut: Wales,
UKAn ancient Celtic hut, rebuilt in the original style

Cone-Shaped Thatched Hut: Burkina Faso

Round Clay Huts: Burkina Faso

The modern Mossis of Burkina Faso live in round clay/mud huts with thatched roofs with some villages protected by mud walls.

Polynesian Thatched Hut

The natives of Polynesia actually live in Tiki Village on Moorea Island in thatched huts. This way, they preserve crafts that are hundreds of years old.

Wood-Ribbed House: Cameroon
This house is made entirely of wood.

Yurts: Kazakhstan

Yurts are traditionally used by Kazakh villagers. They still live in Yurts and herd livestock as their ancestors have done for generations. A yurt is a portable, felt-covered, wood lattice-framed dwelling structure used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia.

Palm Hut: Tuvalu

Traditional homes thatched with palm leaves and some have open side to allow air to pass through. Islanders of Tuvalu live in villages of open-sided houses with steeply sloping roofs. The houses do not need thick walls because the climate is warm all year round.

Tukul: Ethiopia

The thatched hut, called tukul, is divided by a partition. The family is housed on one side and their cattle on the other.

Nipa House: Philippines
This house, typical of the Philippine countryside, is built using nipa leaves and bamboo. The nipa are processed and sewn into 'pawod', and used to cover the bamboo frame.

Stilt Houses: Benin

Stilts are common along rivers and in the coastal lagoons.

Glass House: Connecticut, USA

This unique looking glass house was designed by Philip Johnson. It has been regarded as one of the world's most beautiful and yet least functional homes. The design of the house is often cited as a model example of the International Style.

Cave House: Italy

This cave-house in a shape of a human face is located on Bomarzo, Italy. This cave house was built around 16th century.

Stone Houses: United Arab Emirates

NOTE: When a building is “topped out” (the point of construction when the structure has met its proposed structural top), the building is officially ranked and is placed on the list.

Indian Twin Village

Baffled doctors are trying to unravel the mystery of an Indian village boasting more than 220 sets of twins born to just 2,000 families.

Experts who have visited the remote tropical village of Kodinhi, in Kerala, have been left scratching their heads over the phenomenon that has seen almost six times as many twins born than the global average.

In 2008 alone 15 pairs of twins were born in the village out of 300 healthy deliveries and this year is expected to top that number.

World's Oldest Mother

A 67-year-old Romanian has become the oldest woman to give birth, fuelling an ethical, medical and religious debate about fertility treatment.

Adriana Iliescu gave birth to a daughter who weighed 1.4 kilograms and was delivered by caesarean section after a twin embryo died in the womb.

Sunday's birth came six weeks before the university professor was due to have the child. She started fertility treatment at the age of 58.

Mrs Iliescu finally conceived last May, but she and her doctors kept the news secret until she gave an interview to a Romanian TV station in December announcing she was pregnant with twin girls. The revelation prompted outrage in some quarters and celebration in others.

The mother-to-be made an emotional defence. While critics complained she would be too old to watch her children grow up, she insisted that her family had a history of longevity.

At her Bucharest hospital, doctors said the surviving infant was in intensive care but breathing independently. "The mother is doing well," a spokesman said. "She is saying she has been given a new lease of life."

The Romanian Orthodox Church gave the birth its blessing, but some doctors have been outraged. The head of Romania's medical ethics board said such a controversial procedure should have been debated before conception.

The previous oldest woman to give birth had a son 10 years ago when she was 62.
