3. Moonhole House among the rocks on Bequia Island (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)
In the middle of the last century, on the island of Bequia in the Caribbean, the family of American advertisers Tom and Gladdy Johnston decided to build a house. They were inspired to take such a step by a trip to a rocky island, where they saw an arch created by nature, popularly called the "Moon Hole". For several years of painstaking work, a huge residence has grown on this place, in which a creative family settled.
Over time, this place became very popular among the local elite, but the constant rockfall made life in such an exotic house impossible. According to the editorial office of Novate. Ru, the creator of the house handed it over to the authorities of the island, and quite recently it was completely restored and now the apartment is used as a VIP hotel.

7. Hadaway House in British Columbia (Canada)
Situated on a northwest slope overlooking British Columbia's Whistler Valley, this country house in Canada was designed by architecture firm Patkau.

8. Solvay hut on the slope of the Matterhorn (Switzerland)
The hut itself has never attracted attention, if not for the place in which it is located. This mountain lodge is located on a small ledge of the Matterhorn at an altitude of 4003 meters above sea level! Basically, it serves as a shelter for climbers who have reached such a dizzying height, but those who just want to get away from the bustle of the world are also not forbidden to spend a night or two in it, if, of course, they have the courage, skill and strength to get there. It has everything you need for a good rest, and even has electricity and an emergency phone, but it can only be used in case of an emergency.
Note: The hut was built in August 1915. All material for its construction was transported by animals and a temporary cable car. They managed to build it in just 5 days. The unfavorable location, rockfalls, avalanches and winds gradually destroyed the house, so in 1966 it had to be completely restored. In 1976, an antenna and an emergency telephone were installed in it, and a little later a solar battery was installed.
9. House on one of the islands of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago (Iceland)
The only house on the territory of the deserted island of Elliday in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is a complete bewilderment. It is difficult to imagine that someone is so tired of civilization to build a house here. But be that as it may, this hut has been serving as a cozy refuge for hunters and fishermen for more than 300 years, who go fishing in these harsh lands. And lovers of being alone with nature and enjoying the silence can find refuge here, because this is perhaps the most secluded place on the planet, where it is simply impossible to meet a person passing by.
Very good news for lovers of extraordinary and maximum secluded relaxation has recently appeared on the Web. It turns out the American company Gateway Foundations plans to create an orbital hotel in outer space, and the organizers of this miracle promise that the rest in it will be as affordable as a trip to Disneyland.
