For centuries, circular design has been used in structures such as igloos, teepees, and yurts, with many historic cultures basing their designs on circular forms. Round houses have several benefits over square homes. They require fewer building materials and are often more energy efficient. Additionally, circular homes are more resistant to extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, as the wind can easily blow around them, reducing pressure build up on one side.
While square homes with pitched roofs are the most common type of residence, circular homes are considered more unique and interesting due to their uncommon shape. Despite efforts by innovative thinkers like Buckminster Fuller to promote round design in residential architecture, square homes still dominate the industry. However, there are still many remarkable round houses around the world that showcase the beauty and practicality of circular design. Below, Architectural Digest surveys the top 10 most unique round houses in the world.
