World's Most Unique and Unusual Buildings

The Basket Building, Ohio, USA: An innovative idea of building a headquarter, dedicated to its principle product, is unique but at the same time, difficult to put it into reality. Built in 1997, the basket building is the head office of the Longaberger Basket Company and the design was the brainchild of Dave Longaberger, the owner of the company. The building is made of stucco over steel structure, which helps in the creation of the actual basket look. The handles of the basket weighs 150 tons and are attached with replica copper and wooden rivets. The handles are heated in durations to prevent formation of ice and any harm to the building.

Hang Nga Guest House (Crazy House), Vietnam: As a child, you must have wondered to stay inside a tree with fantasizing fairytales. Opened to the public in 1990, this building originally built as a personal project by Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga, This crazy architecture or the Hang Nga Guest House is virtually a tree, a huge Banyan tree going up to 5-storey. This for sure is the outcome of the love for the mother earth. The fantasy and creativity of the outer structure and design is restored inside as well with the 10 rooms designed on the theme of animals and giving a feel of residing inside a forest. The building from a far away sight looks like a tree trunk and is a treat to the eyes.
