It would seem, what could be unusual in the office of not the most famous company? Well, for example, the fact that the building in which it is located is a giant basket! What else can come to mind of non-standard-minded architects from all over the world, including Russia?
1. House in the form of a giant basket (Basket building)
The office of the Longaberger basket company is located in Newark, Ohio, USA. The founder of the company, Dave Longaberger, wished that his head office was located in a huge basket.
However, when Dave expressed his thoughts on the future office, everyone took it as a joke, since he was a big joker. But Longaberger was persistent. One of its distinguishing features was the ability to always achieve their goals, and on December 17, 1997, the company's headquarters began to be located in a giant basket - one of the most unusual buildings in the world, which certainly attracted customers.
2. Dancing house
This office building was erected in Prague by architects Vlado Milunic and Frank Gehr. It is somewhat similar to a dancing couple, so at first it was called "Fred and Ginger". Later he was nicknamed "Dancing House".
3 crooked house
This unusual house is located in the town of Soport in Poland. It was erected in 2003 based on sketches by a famous Polish children's artist named Jan Marcin Szancer and is part of a shopping and service center. There are many cafes and bars inside.
4 Crazy House
This strange building is located in Vietnam. Its official name is Hang Nga Villa Guest House and Gallery, but locals call it a lunatic asylum. And, standing in front of the entrance, it becomes obvious why. This building does not meet any construction standards, its roof and walls bend and bend quite unexpectedly, there is not a single rectangular window in it. It is based on a large tree, and thanks to the huge branches, you believe that this is a tree-house and not a tree house. This building is very unusual for Vietnam. The architect is a woman named Hang Nga, daughter of the president of the country in the 1980s.
5. Gangster's Wood House
Located in Russia, in Arkhangelsk. It is probably the tallest wooden structure in the world. It has 13 floors and a height of over 45 meters. This is equal to half of Big Ben. And this unusual house was built by a bandit. Starting construction of this house in 1992. he planned to simply make himself a dacha higher than that of his neighbors, and did not expect what it would develop into. According to him, he was used to a communal apartment and would have made something similar out of this house. Unfortunately, the building was not destined to become another wonder of the world - it was demolished last year.
