Around the world, innovative architects are pushing the boundaries of residential architecture. From an invisible mirror house in rural Slovenia to a snake-shaped apartment complex in Mexico, MASTERS lists some of the most bizarre houses.Online Editor: Natasha Hendriks
A significant piece of modern architecture, the house was completed in 1979 with a mix of steel and gunite and is inspired by sand dollars. The spherical home comprises 2240 square feet and offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The spacious kitchen overlooks the water, while a stunning custom-made staircase leads to the heart of the home. Many of the rooms open onto patios and hanging decks, which slope gradually toward the water. The home, which was built in Texas, has beautiful views of Lake Travis from almost every room.Photo: Compass

The architectural wonder and surrounding sculpture garden, just above Mexico City, is the work of architect Javier Senosiain. It was built on a rugged terrain, and there was an ancient cave on the site that made Javier recall the mouth of a snake. So he started by making a spiral concrete structure to complete the snake. Ten apartments were created in this very unique home.Photo: Airbnb
From the street, the property may look like a normal house, but step back and you'll find a fantastic, cloud-shaped extension that transforms the house from a traditional building into a quirky, dreamy space. Designed by the architects at McBride Charles Ryan, the interior of the property is also far from ordinary. The centerpiece of the home is the vibrant red kitchen, offset by warm wood paneling. The walls curve around, enveloping the unusual space and creating a cozy, contemporary atmosphere.Photo: McBride Charles Ryan
This "invisible" house in Slovenia blends seamlessly into the snowy rural landscape and was designed by Austrian studio Delugan Meissl Associated Architects. At night, the house is even more spectacular when the edges of the property fade into the dark sky and shooting stars reflect off the house.Photo: Delugan Meissl Associated Architects
