Who says buildings are boring to look at? Singapore is filled with architectural wonders<\/a> and interesting structures such as clock towers<\/a>. Now, we\u2019re going beyond our shores and shining the spotlight on other unique buildings in the world \u2013 the more eccentric looking, the better! The next time you travel overseas<\/a>, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating architectural structures.<\/p>\n

Check out these unique buildings around the world<\/h2>\n

1. Longaberger Basket Building, USA<\/h3>\n

This building is an absolute basket case of unique architecture. It was built in 1997 as the Longaberger Company\u2019s headquarters. Why the basket shape? It was specifically chosen to replicate the brand\u2019s signature product. The 180,000 square foot structure is seven storeys tall and topped with two steel handles containing a special heating element. Inside, there\u2019s a curving staircase in the lobby and a glass ceiling that allows plenty of natural light in. The basket building was sold off in 2018 and might be revived as a luxury hotel<\/a> or a co-working space<\/a> sometime in the future.

2. Nativity of the Giraffe, France<\/h3>\n

What\u2019s a giraffe doing in the middle of a building? We don\u2019t have the answer to that question, but we know that you should look out for it when you\u2019re in Paris<\/a>. Located in Boulogne-Billancourt, the public building serves as a childcare centre. It also features other animal sculptures, such as a standing polar bear in the playground<\/a>. The idea behind the building is to introduce creative thinking and inspire imagination. We like to think it adds a new meaning to \u201curban jungle\u201d.

3. The Piano House, China<\/h3>\n

We don\u2019t know about you, but this glazed building reminds us of Vanessa Carlton\u2019s A Thousand Miles music video. Architectural students from the Hefei University of Technology designed the piano and violin structure to showcase the Shannan district\u2019s development plans. We absolutely adore the contrast between the transparent violin, which contains escalators and a staircase to the main building, and the black piano, which houses two concert halls. The Piano House has also been used for events and is regarded as a hot spot to take photos.

4. Dog Bark Park Inn, USA<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of dogs, this is a quirky bed and breakfast<\/a> where you can stay for at least two nights. The two-bedroom guesthouse is shaped like a beagle (its name is Sweet Willy, how cute!) and can be easily spotted along Highway 95 in Idaho. Besides accommodation, the roadside attraction has a visitor centre, an outdoor gallery filled with oversized dogs, a gift shop, and an artist studio. Dog Bark Park Inn is open for stays between April and August. We\u2019re positively mutts about this unique hotel<\/a>!

5. National Fisheries Development Board, India<\/h3>\n

Picture a government office dealing with fisheries and agriculture shaped like a gigantic fish. You may think it\u2019s fishy, but this building actually exists. (A little too on the nose, perhaps?) This four-storey unique architecture can be found in Hyderabad, India, and the reason why it\u2019s there is due to the catchment area of major rivers. Now, don\u2019t judge a book by its cover \u2013 or, in this case, a building by its fins. This regional office is both form and function, with the circular windows acting as eyes and the left pectoral fin doubling as an awning for the staircase entrance. Blue-purple spotlights illuminate the building at night, making it look like the fish is swimming through the city.

6. Wuxi Wanda Cultural Tourism City Exhibition Center, China<\/h3>\n
\"Wuxi

It\u2019s not exactly Mrs Potts from Beauty and the Beast, but it\u2019s close enough. One of the most unique buildings in the world, the Chinese exhibition centre is inspired by the Yixing clay teapot, which originated from Jiangsu\u2019s eastern province during the 15th century. The giant teapot is around 39 metres high, 50 metres in diameter, features elaborate lighting, and even rotates. What can you find inside the structure? Why, permanent exhibition showcasing locally produced teapots, of course. It also houses a mall, a hotel, and even a theme park.

7. Kunsthaus Graz, Austria<\/h3>\n
\"Kunsthaus
Photography: Kunsthaus Graz via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Graz Art Museum officially opened in 2003 and became known as the city\u2019s architectural landmark. It definitely stands out among the surrounding buildings. The experimental design resembles a tank or Howl\u2019s Moving Castle. However, the locals call it a \u201cfriendly alien\u201d, given its blob architecture. Its futuristic facade consists of iridescent blue acrylic panels that generate their own solar power. The eastern side of the building can also project messages, thanks to the embedded fluorescent light rings. Doesn\u2019t this art museum<\/a> vaguely resemble a certain thorny performing arts venue in Singapore?

8. Kubuswoningen, Netherlands<\/h3>\n
\"Kubuswoningen,

These cube houses may seem more conventional compared to the rest in this list, but that doesn\u2019t make them any less unique. The geometric forms were conceived in the 1970s as a housing complex dubbed \u201ctrees in a forest\u201d. Each cube measures 22 metres, leans at a 45-degree angle, and rests on hexagonal pillars in an asymmetrical position. Bright yellow was chosen because the colour symbolised brightness and optimism. Can you believe each building contains a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom? We\u2019d love to stay here, even if it\u2019s for a night.

9. High-Heel Wedding Church, Taiwan<\/h3>\n

A chapel shaped like Cinderella\u2019s slipper? Well, it\u2019s not really a church<\/a>, but yes, you can find this in Taiwan<\/a>. There\u2019s a dark history behind this landmark: it was built to honour the young women who were stricken with blackfoot disease and had to amputate their feet. This resulted in them being unable to wear high heels for their wedding day. Sad story aside, the giant shoe was constructed with over 300 blue-tinted glass panels and more than 1,000 steel pieces. The building is 58 feet tall and can fit up to 100 people.

10. Ilinden Spomenik, Republic of North Macedonia<\/h3>\n

This memorial looks like a virus magnified, and now we can\u2019t unsee it. (Others have said it looks like a heart valve or a cauliflower.) Anyway, this five-hectare monument is dedicated to the revolutionaries of the 1903 Ilinden uprising as well as the People\u2019s Liberation Struggle (World War II) partisan fighters. Before reaching the main structure, visitors will pass giant metal chain links that are pried individually. These are said to symbolise the emancipation of Macedonia from foreign rule. There\u2019s also a crypt featuring carved names, places, and memorable events related to the uprising.

11. Gate Tower Building, Japan<\/h3>\n
\"Gate

We\u2019re always in awe of Japan<\/a> for its creativity, which also extends to its architecture. If you\u2019re visiting Osaka<\/a>, make a mental note to check out the Gate Tower Building. Sure, there\u2019s nothing truly out there about it \u2013 apart from a section of the highway passing through the tower. Because of this, the operator has to pay rent for the floors occupied by the highway. Ouch. Meanwhile, the elevator still passes through the occupied storeys without stopping. In case you\u2019re wondering, office tenants are unaffected by the traffic noises and vibrations, all thanks to reinforced sound insulation.

12. Esplanade \u2013 Theatres on the Bay, Singapore<\/h3>\n

We can\u2019t have a list of unique buildings around the world and exclude one of our own. Locals lovingly referred to this behemoth as \u201cthe big durians<\/a>\u201d, predominantly because of the two glass domes with over 7,000 triangular aluminium sunshades covering the roofs. The spikes unintentionally made the architecture appear to resemble the tropical fruit. On top of being Singapore\u2019s premier performing arts venue, it contains a waterfront theatre and Esplanade Mall, and is connected to Esplanade and City Hall MRT stations<\/a>.
