In the USA, the strangest steel house is for sale, in which there is no air conditioning or other devices for a comfortable life. Its initial price is 1.75 million dollars (about 127 million rubles). The unusual building was the last project of the famous American inventor and artist Robert Bruno. Fans of his work hope that buyers will keep this work of art intact.
The impressive "alien house" is built of scrap steel. It remained unfinished, as well as many unusual architectural projects around the world. The building, which is located in the city of Ransom Canyon in Texas, was the last creation of the artist and inventor Robert Bruno. He died of cancer in 2008, never having had time to finish his creation.
Bruno started building a Steel House back in 1973. The three-storey building with an area of 204 square meters is made of carefully welded steel plates that create a unique shape. Some parts of the structure remained unfinished. Robert Bruno planned to place a library in one of the pillars of the house, and an aquarium in the other.
The curved windows offer a beautiful view of the lake. The windows are made of stained glass, which gives the building an even more supernatural look.
The style of the unusual house echoes the forms of other sculptures created by Robert Bruno. It is not known whether he planned to live in it himself. The artist spent more than 30 years creating it, constantly improving the details. The metal plates are carefully fitted one to the other, while maintaining their original shape.
There is no air conditioning or other amenities inside the building. Living in it, especially in the hot Texas summer, is very difficult. But some people think that they will buy it only because steel is a valuable material. The total weight of the plates from which the house is built is about 110 tons.
At first, the artist's relatives wanted to keep the Steel House for themselves. But recently they decided to put it up for sale. The initial price of this strange building is 1.75 million dollars (about 127 million rubles). Students and fans of Robert Bruno's work hope that the future owners will keep it intact for the sake of art.
A dream house can be built from the most unexpected materials. For example, a Houston resident used 11 shipping containers for this.
