00:00Have you ever imagined living in a place unlike any home you've ever known?
00:05The world is full of unique and bizarre places that may seem unbelievable, yet people actually
00:11live in these homes.
00:13Get ready with WOW TV to experience unexpected perspectives you never thought of before.
00:22In the southern Netherlands lies a village that looks like a scene straight out of a
00:25science fiction movie.
00:27Alwinigan is a residential area with unique spherical houses.
00:32Inside the houses are three levels, bedrooms on the ground, a bathroom in the middle, and
00:38a living space on the top.
00:47They look very modern, but drawbacks include their small size and high cost.
00:54However, the surrounding environment is quite good, which is why residents here have no intention
01:07of leaving.
01:14It's truly surprising to learn that this magical scenery isn't the work of any editing software,
01:22but rather created by human hands.
01:24The Banwal and Bakshi Islands, also known as Purple Island, are a part of the transformation
01:31project in South Korea.
01:33In 2015, to shake off the dark times, locals covered the island with a purple hue, inspired
01:40by lavender which grows here naturally.
01:43Over 400 houses, hundreds of telephone booths, numerous fields, and a large bridge connecting
01:50the two islands all painted in purple.
01:53Residents even eat purple rice and wear purple uniforms.
01:58Purple lovers surely can't miss this incredible destination.
02:01And don't forget to wear purple!
02:16Many wondered how something could fit inside a house like this, dismissing it as a joke.
02:22But their opinions quickly change upon seeing what the inside of the house looks like.
02:30The house stands about 7 meters tall, 15 meters long, and is only 1.3 meters wide.
02:42It was constructed by the artist Erwin Worm, with all the amenities of a regular home, bedrooms,
02:51bathrooms, and a living room.
02:54For some, this setup evokes feelings of claustrophobia and discomfort, as they navigate closely against
03:00the walls.
03:01Would you live in a house like this?
03:07Ketseikesu Village has been like a living museum in Taraja, Indonesia for over 400 years.
03:13All the houses here are built in the Tongkonen style, with massive boat-shaped roofs lined up facing each other.
03:21The enclosed design with few windows gives a mysterious vibe when you step inside.
03:31Surprisingly, these spaces serve as communal areas for resting and ceremonies, designed to withstand harsh weather and keep out wild animals.
03:46What you're seeing are buffalo horns.
03:49Locals believe that the more buffalo horns a house has, the wealthier the family is.
04:01This isn't an abandoned airplane in the woods.
04:04It's the home of an American electrical engineer named Bruce Campbell.
04:09Bruce dreamed of creating a unique home from a young age.
04:12When he discovered that truck houses existed, he thought about repurposing decommissioned airplanes.
04:18With his skills, Bruce transformed an old Boeing 727 into a real house that meets basic human needs.
04:31At the same time, he retained several original features to suit his personal taste.
04:41Have you ever thought about living underground?
04:44About 150 million years ago, part of Australia was covered by the ocean, which later turned into a desert, causing severe climate changes.
04:52Cold and winter, like, bound to one degree, and in summer, it gets up to around the 45 mark.
05:06To cope with harsh weather, the residents of Cooper Petty came up with the idea of building houses underground.
05:13Using simple materials like sandstone and siltstone, these houses maintain a constant temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, that's 73 degrees Fahrenheit, year-round.
05:25The architecture can help residents maximize their privacy.
05:30This could be a great idea if humans move to live on another planet in the future.
05:43You might not know Atelier by name, but you might have heard of the Cliff Village in Sichuan, China.
05:49This village, perched on an 800-meter cliff, became famous after images of students here climbing sky-laders to school went viral.
05:57To help the villagers, the government pitched in 1,000,000 yuan, about 150,000 U.S. dollars, to build a 3-kilometer-long steel ladder with 2,556 steps.
06:10In 2020, in response to new policies, 84 families agreed to move to a resettlement area below the cliff.
06:18However, 30 households chose to remain in their original homes, continuing to develop tourism in the area.
06:25Can you see the house hiding in the middle of this forest?
06:39Welcome to Mirror Cube, the invisible hotel.
06:44The mirrored walls reflect everything around it, making it blend right into nature.
06:51A unique design, with a lightweight aluminum structure wrapped around a tree trunk, compact yet fully equipped.
06:58At night, the hotel becomes even more enchanting, with light shining from inside.
07:04Any time you visit, Mirror Cube is always a magical place, because of its one-of-a-kind experiences.
07:20In a stark contrast to the flashy exterior of Las Vegas, deep within its tunnels lies a miserable underworld.
07:30Originally built as a storm drainage system for the city, these tunnels now shelter nearly 2,000 homeless individuals.
07:39These residents, often dubbed mole people, endure living in dark, damp, and dirty conditions that are meant for moles, not people.
07:49They must contend with darkness, the risk of flooding in rainy seasons, and the constant threat of lurking criminals.
07:58Outside volunteer groups have ventured into these tunnels to distribute food and advocate for these individuals to return to the surface.
08:05But rescuing thousands of mole people from the darkness is not something a few individuals can accomplish.
08:13A famous bridge, not meant for vehicles, only pedestrians, sounds hard to believe, but it's true.
08:29With incredible historical significance, Ponte Vecchio Bridge was built in the Middle Ages and is the largest stone and wood architecture here.
08:38The bridge has been a marvel due to the houses built along both sides.
08:42Initially, these shops were meat markets, but were later replaced by jewelry shops, making it a renowned tourist destination.
08:50This place is not for vehicles, because it's always bustling with pedestrians passing by, shopping, and enjoying the scenery.
08:58Ponte Vecchio is also famous for the love locks, a symbol of eternal love.
09:16Movies often draw inspiration from real life, and maybe the model for the Flintstones was the Casa de Penedo in Portugal.
09:24Made from four granite boulders, the house even has a pool and bulletproof windows.
09:30Inside, it's fully equipped, except for electrical appliances, as the owner wanted to return to a pre-technology era.
09:39Originally, it was a family retreat, but the house quickly became famous for its unique architecture.
09:46Curious visitors made the owner move elsewhere, and now the house has become a local museum attracting many tourists.
09:56Bathrooms are ideal places for many people to sit for hours, but they definitely won't want to stay there for more than ten minutes.
10:03When they go to the toilet, it just falls through to the water.
10:07Makoto in Nigeria is considered one of the most forgotten and insane slums.
10:12It's characterized by rickety wooden houses floating on water, with up to 200,000 residents.
10:20Due to a lack of government attention, this place faces worse living conditions than ever, with waste, disease, and floods.
10:29Despite all these hardships, the people here live with a lot of affection and acceptance.
10:34However, these children deserve a better life.
10:42Integrating tradition into modern living, that's how the pyramid buildings in China were born.
10:48This residential complex is inspired by the terraced fields of Asia, and the sport of parkour, which is gaining renewed interest among the youth.
10:56Alongside an 18-story building are two 12-story buildings, all stacked like Lego houses.
11:05It seems like an ideal living space, but residents face many privacy and conveniences.
11:15If you stand on the balcony of this house, you can easily see all the activities of the neighbors living below.
11:20Do you remember the speech by Tuvalu's foreign minister amidst the waters of COP26, which went viral on social media?
11:32As the fourth smallest country in the world, Tuvalu has about 11,000 people in an area of nearly 26 square kilometers, with its highest point just 3 meters above sea level.
11:44With the current sea level rise and coastal erosion rates, experts predict that this island nation will completely disappear by the end of the 21st century.
11:55Some countries, like Fiji and Australia, suggested offering land for Tuvaluans to resettle, but their government declined.
12:02They are struggling to save their homeland. Relocation will be their last resort.
12:18The means of transportation in the floating village of Kampong Luang, Cambodia are boats and rafts.
12:23The unique features of the houses and structures here is that they are built on stilts 6 to 9 meters high to adapt to the changing water levels between seasons.
12:35Due to a semi-nomadic lifestyle and almost non-existent welfare services, the lives of over 300 households here are very challenging.
12:44They do everything on the water surface, including using the lake water for bathing, swimming, washing, fishing, boat transportation and goods transportation.
12:55As a result, the area is underdeveloped and faces significant environmental pollution issues.
13:02Those who have visited Kampong Luang are deeply impressed by the resilience of the locals.
13:08The only place in the world to experience the clearest auroras and the super blue blood moon is the town of Longyearbyen in the Svaljard archipelago, Norway.
13:21Located about 1,050 kilometers from the North Pole, this is where the sun doesn't set for four months and the night lasts for the following four months of the year.
13:30Initially founded for coal mining, Longyearbyen is now a hub for scientific research and adventure tourism.
13:39There are 2,400 residents from over 50 countries here and you can easily become one of them as the town allows immigration without a visa.
13:52Thanks to the modern design and technology, humans can indeed live underwater like fish.
13:57The Muraka Hotel at Conrad Maldives is considered an architectural marvel with its unique underwater design.
14:05This hotel has two levels, like other hotels, with the upper part above the sea level offering all amenities and facilities.
14:17The standout feature of this architecture is the main bedroom on the lower level, submerged over 5 meters below sea level.
14:23Imagine experiencing the sensation of sleeping with a fish or having coffee surrounded by coral.
14:30I think that would be an amazing experience brought to us by talented architects.
14:36A house that can't stand up to a passing breeze.
14:42Yeah, you didn't mishear me.
14:44Reactor, the daring creation by Alex Schweder and Ward Shelley, brought this seemingly absurd idea to life.
14:52Its mobility depends not only on external forces, but also on the movements of people inside.
14:58The two architects lived in the house for five days in public view to highlight the importance of human interaction.
15:03Because the house can only achieve balance when everyone inside cooperates harmoniously.
15:14The desert may seem uneventful until you discover the marvel of Huacachina Oasis.
15:20Located in one of the driest climates on Earth, Huacachina is considered an oasis amidst the desert with around 100 residents.
15:26The oasis formed naturally due to geological movements.
15:33Infrastructure in Huacachina is relatively well developed.
15:37The most popular activities here include exploring the desert and dune buggies and sandboarding down the towering dunes.
15:44The city of the silent, city of souls.
15:55Can you guess where this is?
15:57It's Colma, California.
16:00A town with just 1,700 residents squeezed into 2.2 square miles.
16:05But here's the twist.
16:08It's home to over 1.5 million departed souls and 73% of its land is dedicated to cemeteries.
16:18Colma was founded in 1924 as a solution for San Francisco's burial space shortage.
16:24This has persisted to this day, defining the town and even showing up on its local merchandise.
16:29When it comes to apartment complexes, we often picture box-like structures containing multiple units inside.
16:45But Habitat 67 completely breaks away from this traditional image.
16:50With its 12 floors, each unit within has its own balcony and comes in different sizes.
16:55The rooftop gardens are lush, natural ventilation systems abound, and ample daylight floods the interiors.
17:04Habitat 67 is considered a revolution in high-rise, high-density living.
17:09Even though many old trends have faded, Habitat 67 stays modern and is a vital part of the community here.
17:17Long ago, people learned to dig into the earth to build homes to protect themselves from harsh weather.
17:22The underground city of Derinkuyu is one of the most remarkable examples still existing.
17:28Some archaeologists estimate it was built around 2000 BC by the Hittites.
17:34It's amazing to think about the skills and knowledge of those builders back then.
17:39Living underground for extended periods was incredibly challenging, yet none of Derinkuyu's 18 levels have collapsed.
17:45This vast underground maze spans 18 floors and reaches a depth of 85 meters, capable of housing up to 20,000 people.
17:56In various periods, Derinkuyu served as a refuge for residents and a storage for food.
18:01Today, Derinkuyu is a museum, open daily throughout the year.
18:05As the world undergoes modernization, the Euros people of Lake Titicaca in South America maintain their ancient traditions with reeds.
18:18Originally used for small house materials, locals later transformed them into floating islands, boats, watchtowers, schools, and more.
18:26To combat rot caused by high humidity, they must regularly replace the reeds, especially during the storm season.
18:35Living in a damp environment without many modern resources or amenities may not be ideal for many.
18:41But the Euros people live with pride and honor in their unique cultural heritage.
18:45Rosinha is an informal settlement built illegally on the hillsides of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
18:53Everything is tightly packed into small spaces, with houses stacked on top of each other, sometimes up to 10 stories high.
19:01Despite its challenging conditions, basic amenities such as electricity, water, and even cable TV are available.
19:08However, there are no safety or sanitation regulations, and disease outbreaks are common due to the narrow channels between houses.
19:18Compared to some other slums, Rosinha prides itself on relatively better infrastructure.
19:27Imagine if your neighbors were scarecrows.
19:29It's kind of creepy, but that's the reality of Nagoro Village, Japan.
19:33Unlike regular scarecrows, which are used to protect crops, those in Nagoro Village are there to fight loneliness.
19:53The idea of reviving the village came to artist Ayano Tsukimi while making scarecrows in memory of her dad.
19:58There are now 300 scarecrows, 10 times more than the real residents.
20:04The backstory of the Scarecrow Village nickname left me feeling more sad than scared.
20:10Those who love freshness and sweetness will surely be captivated by this place.
20:17Bo Cap is not only recognized as a historical landmark of South Africa, but also known as the Cape Malay Quarter.
20:24The brightly colored houses in Dutch and British architectural styles combined with winding cobblestone streets.
20:33This neighborhood is also famous for its roadside shops selling handmade crafts crafted by the locals themselves.
20:40The mosque is a special feature, providing a spiritual space and cultural diversity to the area.
20:46When you see the hanging temple of Datong, it's natural to wonder how ancient people could build it clinging to sheer cliffs.
21:00The construction method was actually quite simple.
21:03They carved holes into the rock face and inserted large oak beams as supports, keeping it stable for over 1,500 years.
21:13Located in a recessed part of the cliff, the temple is protected from rain and falling rocks as well as flooding.
21:20To this day, it remains the only architecture in China that combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
21:30And it's not the only structure in China built in such a precarious location.
21:33It seems like Elsa must have visited this town and left behind some incredibly dazzling ice architecture.
21:45True to its name, this hotel's entire interior is crafted from 5,000 tons of ice from the torn river.
21:52Spanning a total of 6,000 square meters, it boasts about 55 bedrooms.
22:01Whenever you visit, you always get a fresh feeling because the hotel changes its design every year.
22:08This is not just a place to stay, but a harmonious blend of art, nature and creativity that creates a magnificent space.
22:15It takes 450 years for plastic to decompose, making it a hazardous waste for the environment, but it can also be turned into sustainable building materials.
22:33Richard Soa, a British builder, saw the potential of discarded plastic bottles and transformed them into the island you see.
22:40The island's core consists of 150,000 plastic bottles placed in nets, covered with topsoil and interconnected by tree roots.
22:50Richard harnesses nature to improve life, like using solar-powered stoves or seashell showers.
22:58What's most fascinating is that this island operates like a boat. It can sail anywhere.
23:03Aogashima, Japan is home to some of the bravest people in the world, living directly on the rim of an active volcano.
23:14This tiny island, inhabited by only 200 people, is isolated in the Pacific Ocean, over 350 kilometers away from Tokyo.
23:24What makes it unique is that it's a double volcano island, with a smaller volcano nested inside of a larger one.
23:30Though beautiful and unique, it's also risky, because the giant volcano could erupt at any time.
23:38Until then, it remains a peaceful and untouched place, separated from the outside world.
23:44Check out Sealand, the smallest nation in the world, with just 27 people and an area the size of two tennis courts.
23:53It was established on a fort that the United Kingdom built during World War II and later abandoned.
24:00In 1967, former British Army Major Roy Bates seized the fort and declared it an independent nation.
24:08Throughout its history, there have been disputes between Sealand and the United Kingdom, but ultimately, the UK has been unable to exert control over Sealand as it lies outside its territorial waters.
24:20Despite having its own flag, currency, and passports, Sealand has not been internationally recognized as a sovereign state.
24:29In the midst of skyscrapers in Chongqing, China, there is a unique horizontal architecture called the Crystal.
24:37It's part of the Raffles City – Chongqing Complex, consisting of eight skyscrapers stretching 300 meters long and towering up to 250 meters high.
24:50The crystal serves not only as a bridge connecting the skyscrapers, but also houses various amenities and spaces.
24:56It stands as a testament to creativity and progress in modern architecture and urban development in Chongqing.
25:09A building that can dance? That's entirely possible with limitless human creativity.
25:13Architects Vlado Milunik and Frank Gehry created the Dancing House amidst the buildings along the Vlatva River in Prague.
25:22However, this style sparked considerable controversy.
25:27The Dancing House is constructed from 99 concrete panels, each with a different shape and size.
25:32Atop the building is a large, twisted metal structure.
25:37This site features nearly 3,000 square meters of office space, restaurants, exhibition rooms, and a conference center.
25:46With a rooftop terrace accessible from the ninth floor, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Prague.
25:53Today, the Dancing House is recognized as one of Prague's most important landmarks and attracts numerous tourists each year.
26:00No roads, no cars, just boats.
26:08That's Geithhorn, one of the oldest villages in Europe, dubbed the Venice of the North.
26:15The village is renowned for its extensive network of canals and hundreds of bridges.
26:21In contrast, there are very few roads, all of which are narrow footpaths.
26:25Tourists arriving by car must park in the outskirts and choose to explore on foot, by bicycle or by boat.
26:34It's a year-round tourist hotspot because every season is picturesque, even winter.
26:39Famous as the Manhattan of the desert, Shabam is surrounded by a defensive wall.
26:49Not only that, this architecture is a vivid testament to the ingenuity and a masterpiece of ancient civilizations.
26:55As a city from the 14th century, it's one of the oldest examples based on the principle of vertical construction.
27:03Its distinctive feature lies in its 500 tall towers, ranging from 5 to 11 stories, all built with mud bricks.
27:12To protect the buildings from rain and erosion, walls must be regularly coated with layers of mud.
27:17This architectural style was used to shield residents from attacks by nomads.
27:24With a history of over 2,000 years, this city is an icon of human resilience in the harsh desert environment.
27:32Your eyes aren't deceiving you, this super crooked shape is the result of a big storm.
27:37Just kidding!
27:39This house is well known by two names, Crooked House and Drunk House.
27:43It was built by a talented Polish architect in 2004 inspired by fairy tales.
27:50Looking at its crooked walls, windows and sagging roof, few know they're made of incredibly sturdy reinforced concrete.
27:57And its placement next to straight houses only highlights its uniqueness.
28:04Thirteen years ago, a wave of urban redevelopment and resettlement swept through many cities in China.
28:10In Guangzhou, one household was persuaded to relocate, but was dissatisfied with the compensation apartment offered.
28:18The replacement apartment faced a mortuary, so the homeowner was determined to stay in their old house until receiving a higher payout.
28:26Unable to do anything else, the developer had to change the design and continue the project.
28:31Unexpectedly, this site became a highly sought after destination in the city.
28:40In Dagestan, there's a village situated 1,800 meters above sea level called Kubachi, renowned for its silver crafting tradition.
28:48Children are taught handicrafts from a young age to carry on their ancestors' legacy.
28:52Living high up in the cliffs, far from modern civilization, Kubachi retains its wild and ancient charm.
29:01Infrastructure development for tourists is still limited, so visitors often rely on the hospitality of locals.
29:07and also the city of locals.
29:22There's a stunning watercolor painting in Jiangxi Wangzian Valley,
29:27There's a stunning watercolor painting in Jiangxi, Wangjian Valley, Jiangxi, China.
29:39The most famous feature here is the houses clinging to cliffs, built in ancient architectural
29:44style with earthen walls, black tiled roofs, and small wooden windows.
29:49Baihi Gorge, 110 meters high, includes 12 glass rooms, a library, a hanging restaurant,
29:56and an observation deck built on this cliff.
29:59The long and serene valley has streams flowing gently, and majestic waterfalls flowing year-round
30:05without ever drying up.
30:11Along with rapid population growth, cities are starting to favor space-saving architecture.
30:17Dacked houses and narrow homes are becoming more popular.
30:20However, the most groundbreaking idea is the hanging apartments.
30:26Surprisingly, emerging and going viral, no one knows where it originated, but it could
30:30very well become widespread in the future.
30:34Did the unique structures we just introduced make you feel fascinated?
30:38If you could live in any of these spaces, let us know below.
30:42And feel free to add to WoW TV's list by sharing your experiences in the comments section.
