In a world filled with sterile office parks, concrete apartments, and uniform glass towers, some architects choose creativity and color. They let the most random things inspire them — a pineapple, an elephant, even a toilet.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most bizarre and hilarious architectural choices from every corner of the planet. These designers took one look at traditional blueprints and decided to throw them completely out the window. The results are fascinating and quite impossible to ignore.
Scroll down for some beautiful, weird, and strange buildings. And don’t miss the one designed in the shape of a low-flush Western toilet.

We cannot tear down our cities and completely rebuild them out of pineapples and picnic baskets (even though that would be awesome). But we do need more architects who aren't afraid to break the rut and design something wonderful.
At the same time, we can all do our bit. The next time you pick up a paintbrush, skip the safe beige. Hang a weird painting that makes no sense. Let your home reflect a bit of color and chaos… because life is too short to live inside a boring box.
#34 It's A Toilet, It's A House, It's A Toilet House!
This toilet-shaped house in Suwon, South Korea is named Haewoojae, which means “a place of sanctuary where one can solve one’s worries.”
It was built in 2007 by a Sim Jae-deok, the founder of World Toilet Association to bring attention to the world’s sanitation problems.
Fancy living in this whacky house?
