When the Japanese cherry blossom trees are in bloom around Nagoya Castle during spring, you can almost forget that it is a reconstruction and imagine what it must have been like almost 400 years ago.







 



Nagoya-jo was originally constructed in Nagoya, Japan in 1612 but sustained great damage in World War II. In 1959 it was rebuilt from ferro-concrete and its interior now contains a museum about the castle.

 However, an interesting feature of Nagano Castle is a pair of male and female gold figures, in the form of a mythical fish with the head of a tiger, which adorn the north and south ends of the roof. These gold ("kin" in Japanese) figures are called Shachihoko and give the castle its nickname of Kinshachi-jo.











 
Like the umbrella in Chion-in Temple in Kyoto, Shachihoko are believed to protect the castle from fire by bringing the rain.
Other highlights of the castle include:
- Ninomaru Tea House
- Ninomaru Garden

Rumah Antiq dan Unit

Cactus House – The Netherlands

The balconies of the Cactus House apartment building in Rotterdam were designed to maximize outdoor gardening space for tenants.

Gangster House – Russia
This soaring wooden tower in Archangelsk, Russia was built by local gangster Nikolai Sutyagin. He never quite got around to finishing its construction – he was jailed before the work was completed.

Cube Houses – The Netherlands
The Dutch seem to be building more than their fair share of interesting houses, as evidenced by these “cube houses” in Rotterdam. Architect Piet Blom intentionally tipped the houses 45 degrees on their side. Cutting edge yes, but not good for those with vertigo.

Wooden Sphere House – Canada
The sphere house in British Columbia, Canada takes simplicity to a whole new level. The sphere is anchored to its surroundings using ropes and spiral staircases.

Habitat 67 – Canada
These playful apartments in Montreal feature a unique building block design.

Wozoco Apartments – The Netherlands
This “hanging” apartment building near Amsterdam uses some clever architecture to get around local zoning laws. Dutch laws require sunlight for all units, so the builders simply hung part of the building above the ground allowing for extra square footage and sun for the tenants below.

Pod House – New York
Located in New Rochelle, the Pod House’s interesting organic design is based on the structure of a weed called Queen Anne’s Lace.

Berman House – Australia
The Berman House in Joadja, Australia hangs over a deep canyon below. I’m sure the views must be spectacular.

Rotating House – Germany
Architect Rolf Disch was thinking green when he built this structure near Freiburg, Germany. The house rotates with the movement of the sun in winter to save on heating costs. Maybe there’s a renter’s discount if you get dizzy easily?

Mushroom House – Ohio
For only $400,000, you could be living in your own fairytale-style mushroom house located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Floating House – Ukraine
Though it seems to defy the laws of nature, this structure in the Ukraine is apparently supported by the beams on the right hand side of the image. It looks a bit fake, don’t you think?

Upside-Down House – Poland
This structure is not a mistake. The upside-down house really was built just as it looks. Designer Daniel Czapiewski created it as a critique of the “upside-down” nature of his country’s former communist government. Located in Szymbark, Poland.
