REAL FUTURISTIC HOUSES

If you ever watched the Supersonics or Futurama cartoons, surely you thought how wonderful
it was to see those amazing houses with awesome things and surely you wanted to live in one
of these. Today I will show you the top ten of the futuristic houses that exist today and that
you will want to have.

10. The Sleeper's House or Sculptured House is located on Genesee Mountain in Colorado and
was built by Charles Deaton in 1963. This house became very famous since 1973 because of a
Woody Allen movie called The Sleeper, where the characters were supposed to travel to the
future and as you can see is quite interesting, unfortunately its creator Charles Deaton could
never see it completely built because the money ran out before finishing it and this house was
unfinished and alone for 3 decades until 1999 when a businessman John Higgins bought it and
the last time it was put up for auction it sold at 1.53 billion dolars which is roughly half its real
value which is 3.43 billion dolars.

9. The steel house was designed by Robert Bruno in Lubbock, Texas. Its construction was from
1973 to 1996. It has 110 tons of steel. An interesting thing about this house is that it is not yet
completed, it has three levels and 204 square meters which are located on the edge of a rather
irregular hill and overlooking a nearby lake. The designer Robert Bruno lived in the structure
while welding it at the same time, and he did not stop welding and working in this house until
the day of his death in 2008. This house is currently visited very regularly by Texas Tech
architecture students and the current owner of this house is the daughter of Robert Bruno.

8. The dupli house, designed by J. Mayer H. Architects in Ludwigsburg, Germany in 2008. The
silhouette of this house is a unique silhouette so it is quite quite creative and the idea was to
demonstrate that the architecture was able to adapt to the environment and benefit nature.
The geometry of this building is based on a house that was previously there in 1984. It has a
plot of 6900 square meters and the construction of the house is 1190 square meters.

7. The O house. Designed by Jun Igarashi architects in the Tokoro district in Japan in 2009. This
pretty Zen residence has only one floor and is located in the middle of a forest town of Japan.
This one is very different to other areas of Japan where the houses are always close together,
in the O house there are larger grounds and the view of this house is interesting because it
contrasts quite a lot with the houses around which are very traditional in Japan. The land area
of this house is 1483 square meters and the area of construction is 112 square meters.

6. The house of the birds flight. Designed by Bernardo Rodrigues and is located in Ribeira
Grande, Portugal. It was built in 2010 and apart from being a house that looks like a sculpture,
has a rather attractive side for people living there because in fact, many of these futuristic
houses look more like museums than houses except for this one. This house has many areas of
entertainment and private spaces. The terrace has a recreation area that offers you incredible
panoramic views of the landscape.

5. Himmelhaus was designed by Coop Himmelblau in California. The selling price of this 210
square meter house, which is the first project built by this Austrian architects in the United
