Have you seen pictures of the famous illustrator of children's books, Jan Шанancer? Browse through Andersen’s tales, a book by Carlo Collodi and Adam Mickiewicz, for sure you will meet the works of this talented professor at the Warsaw Academy.
If you are going to build something, it's worth a look. After all, the work of the illustrator inspired architects Zalevsky and Shatinsky on the creation of this amazing irregularly shaped house in Sopot. The building really turned out something else. Although its creators claim that they were looking for harmony with nature.
At the expense of nature, I doubt the absence of right angles does not mean harmony. It looks more like paintings by surrealists, you look and don’t know whether to cry or laugh.
The amazing building fulfilled its main task - tourists are delighted, local residents are proud of the attraction, the resident shopping center customer and his customers are satisfied. In this regard, of course, harmony has been achieved. In the crooked house there is even a wall of glory with murals of stars, no worse than in Hollywood.
At night, the house looks even more unusual, so there are enough visitors at any time, all night the doors of this strange house are open to guests. It has a restaurant, clubs, bars, the Museum of Modern Crafts and the Maritime Museum, a shopping center are open in the afternoon, and local radio stations have their offices here. In general, life in a house boils around the clock.
I looked and thought that these curved forms most resemble and seem to have understood the home from the Looking Glass.
And the house in Sopot resembles an amazing installation by British designer Alex Chinnek in the city of Margit. The wall of a house that has smoothly moved out. Due to the scale, the effect was grandiose.
Dancing houses
Something like an irregularly shaped house in Sopot built in Prague - Dancing House. True, if he did not know that he symbolizes the famous dancing couple of Fred and Ginger, then he would have thought something else. An unusual design, was built under the supervision of Vatslev Havel himself. You will be in Prague, you can look into the French restaurant on the roof of this house.
Much more can be said about the "dancing" houses. For example, a house in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the Frederick R. Weissman Museum of Art in Minnesota.

Falling houses
If we talk about crooked houses, the conversation will certainly come down to the English village of Lavenham in Suffolk. Her story recalls the time of the gold rush in America, when the miners' settlements were erected with a quick hand, where life was in full swing, and after the gold mine was exhausted, they turned into deserted cities of ghosts. The village of Lavenham also experienced an economic boom, few paid attention to the quality of construction, the buildings were built from raw wood. But the holiday of life is over, competitors from Colchester killed the entire woolen business and there was no more money to build new, better houses. In general, the boards were dry, the houses were warped, and only warped houses remind of former greatness.
Here is such a "non-standard" village

And this is another attraction of England, crooked house in the city of Dudley. Also an interesting story. The house is of course an old one, from 1765 and after the construction did not stand out anything special, so, a typical building. But in the 19th century, soil sank beneath it, and one side of the house fell a meter. The building survived, but it was declared unsuitable for operation and were about to be demolished. Then the Wolverhampton & Dudley brewing company intervened, the enterprising owners realized that a lot of benefit could be gained from the skewed house and they were right.They carried out a major overhaul, completely replacing the supporting structures, and kept the appearance as it is. So in England there was another tourist attraction.
In general, there are many crooked and falling houses in the world, not only the world famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. For example, on the right is a crooked house in Windsor, and on the left is a falling house in Amsterdam.
On the left is an unformatted house in Troyes (France), on the right is a house in Tartu (Estonia).
Italy, this is a falling structure in Bomarzo.
Germany Landmark, falling house in Ulm. However, it has been “falling” since the 14th century, and local architects expect that it will still stand as much. Fachwerk has a slope of 10 °, which of course is of interest to specialists, not to mention tourists. The house retains its position thanks to the diagonal fastenings of the ground floor and excellent ship timber, which is particularly durable. Today in the house the hotel and visitors feel more confident in the falling building of the 14th century more than in some modern buildings.
Irregular houses are also being built by modern architects. This is Maison Go, a house without right angles from the French company Architectes Peripheriques .. It seems that the upper floor is about to slip off the lower roof.
And this building is a development of the Swiss architectural studio FOVEA Architects. The project is called Crooked House. The upper block of the building has a slope of 40 °, so it seems that the house bent to see who came there.
Another interesting design The “wrong” house of architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser from Austria. I don’t know, there are bushes on the roof, it was so conceived or it happened, but it seems that every resident of this house built his apartment on his own, and according to his own project. Probably this versatility and a bright palette of colors of the Hundertwasser house in Vienna is the main intention of the architect.
There are many more interesting houses of irregular shape. This house is located in Berlin, and on the right is a house in Santopol, Italy. One is broken, the other is falling, but both are original.
On the left is an inclined house in Ontario, Canada, on the right is a falling house in Sochi, in which case it is really falling. This is not an architect’s idea, but a banal landslide.
