Most of us live in ordinary apartments or houses, but some are blessed to live in an extraordinary or unusual living structures, that are a built from the most creative human beings all over the world. We have seen houses that have planes or helicopters on the top to houses built in the middle of the sea. Have you seen the Mushroom house located in Powdermills Park, Rochester, NY? If not, stay tuned to see its glory.
It was originally inspired by Queen Anne’s Lace and it was built in the early 70s by three architects and six artist. Although it is a plant with small white flowers, the visitors that come to see it says that it is more similar to some kind of fungus, as it is brown. Take a look at this one-of-a kind house, that will take you into a fantasy land and decide what it looks like: a mushroom or a plant.
The Mushroom House has 4 pods, from which, one serves as a living and dining room together, one as a kitchen and two are for sleeping. Actually, it features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is also an additional 1/2 pod that provides an open deck area. We should not forget the meditation pond which is completed with a running waterfall.
