14.The Steel House, Lubbock, Texas, USA
Built out of 110 tonnes of steel over a 23-year construction period, the Steel House appears to be in the shape of a giant pig. Architectural sculptor Robert Bruno was a bit disappointed with the flat landscape and found something a bit more exciting he could work with at Ransom Canyon.
Initially, he wanted to construct a one story house, but after many adjustments and additions (including removing walls, adding legs so as not to impact the earth and adding more stained glass windows, etc), The Steel House ended up with more stories, an artistic, unique look and a magnificent view. Nearby, Robert Bruno also built the Lawson Rock House in Ransom Canyon.
