Triangular Homes: Funky Exterior Shapes

We’re all used to Cape Cod styles and boxy shapes when it comes to our homes. It’s expected and it’s traditional, and it’s rare that we see anything different when it comes to any building or piece of architecture. But what about those homes that show off a bit more shape than the usual four-sided look? Take a look at these magical, mischievous and unique triangular homes and how they’re styling their funky exterior shape.

1. Found in Norway.

Maybe not at first glance, but on that double take you’ll have of this beautiful home, you’ll quickly realize how special it truly is. A triangular shape doesn’t mean small.

2. Found in Denmark.

Again, this home isn’t outwardly triangular as it’s in a horizontal version. But it’s slick, it’s modern and it’s perfect for a couple that wants to make a statement.

3. Found in the Pyrenees.

We love this quaint and adorable triangular home. It’s cottage-esque with a bit of modern edge, which is perfect for a place of inspiration and rest.

4. Found in Japan.

A bit industrial in style and unique in shape, just like all the other, this house knows how to bring the curb-side appeal. And we love the placement of the windows, doors and the amazing little courtyard found inside.

5. Found in Belgium.

One of my favorite designs, this house meshes old and new in the most perfect of ways. The extra room built to the side of the entry point adds a traditional appeal that makes the entire home feel so much more cozy.

6. Found in the U.S.

This home is all about depth and perception. With a slight tilt and a pointed roof, it’s definitely anything but forgettable.

7. Found in Iceland.

Even the most rural of destinations, style is appreciated. Take this cabin in Iceland for example, although it’s in a seemingly desolate area, it still has the pop and pizazz of something unique.

8. Found in Denver.

More than just an a-frame inspiration, this home is a piece of architectural art. Triangular is shape but almost in a melted form, we love the uniqueness of this house.

9. Found in Portugal

Beautiful colors, cultural in vibe, this home found in Portugal is something we should all take in and appreciate. Why not take a piece of this house and incorporate its liveliness into our own?

10. Found in the U.S.

Although it’s not completely triangular, it has that shapely inspiration that makes it unique and full of personality. With Victorian style, it’s a charming piece of architecture fit for ones who love eclectic style.-Via
