Houses Around the World

Some houses can be tall and thin while others can be short and wide. Or maybe your house is a perfect square with some other shapes attached to it! Sometimes, people like to get crazy and wacky with their houses to symbolize a personality or something else. Houses can be really old or really new. Houses can be found anywhere! You see them in big and crowded cities, and you also see them in the wide open country with not a lot of people. Lots of houses are colored differently! They can be boxy or wavy too! Many can be just one color, while others can have more than one color. Each color is unique and can be crazy and exotic or boring and dull. Houses can be made of brick, wood, or sticky cement-like glue. Usually they have lots of windows so people can see outside and to let the sun shine in their houses! Different countries sometimes have different styles that suit the country or person living in it!

Hi my research is about Wooden Frame Houses



-Aqua144

This research will be about houses in Turkey.

Two years ago i went to Turkey to visit my cousins and i saw very interesting things In the city everyone lives in apartments. The apartments are usually 4-15 floors. The one i visited was 10 floors so in every apartment there is an elevator. I saw this huge apartment that was 52 floors! In most of the apartments there is huge yard where all the kids can play basketball, volleyball, tennis and many more. There are two different pools one is for little kids and other one for adults. One of the most things i like is most apartments have terraces.
Cities are full with apartments. Outside of the city, there are farms, summer houses, villas, cabins and many more.

Most apartments look something like this


And this is my drawing

Hey Guyz. Here is underwater hotel. What do ya thin of it

Merzouga, Sahara Desert, Morocco

In southern part of Morocco, the houses are made of the bricks. They mix some water with clayey soil and put them into the mold to dry under the Sun. They use the clay to paste bricks one by one and then, paste the clay over the bricks to build the house. The bricks can keep the room temperature at comfortable level, even the outside temperature is changing drastically during a day. However, the houses are not strong for earthquake.

" BAHAY KUBO"

The nipa hut also known as bahay kubo, is an indigenous house used in the Philippines. The native house is constructed out of bamboo tied together, with a thatched roof using nipa/anahaw leaves.Nipa huts were the native houses of the indigenous people of the Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. They are still used today, especially in rural areas. Different architectural designs are present among the different ethno-linguistic groups in the country, although all of them conform to being stilt houses, similar to those found in neighboring countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, and the Pacific Islands.

hey atena here. this is my research on igloos

long before brick or wood houses with eletric heat, people had to be creative when building homes to protect them from nature's elemets. europeans built castles out of stone. native americans in warmer areas build tepees out of animals or bark. the inuit lived in the northern areas like greenland,
alaska and parts of canada. the inuit had to build their houses out of snow, known as the igloo.
the igloo is a house made out of blocks of ice. its purpose is to trap the heat inside so it stays warm. for hunters looking for shelter, they might just dig a hole in the snow and cover it with ice so the hunter has a nice warm shelter for the night. the inuit built igloos for living. the largest igloos could have up to 5 rooms and hold 20 people. a large igloo is usually built to hold feasts and traditional dances.

you want to hear something of an famous house?
well here we go:

my research is about the "The Contemporary House" Used for the Cullen Family for Twilight.

It was built as a spec house and bought by the director of footwear design at Nike, John Hoke.
The Hokes were approached by a film location scout, a little film called Twilight.

Twilight producers thought it was the perfect setting for the Cullen family of cool,
“we glitter in the sun and look like-supermodels” vampires
although many fans have complained that it didn’t look anything like the old white Victorian described in the novel.
I personally adore this house and had to find more photos of it!

Here is what it looks like in the film:


And “in real" (minus all the trees that were added in post-production):


i personally would choose the one in the film lol

A view of the kitchen from the film, with the Cullen family using it for the first time to prepare a meal for “the human” (Bella):

Here what it looks in real:


The eat-in part of the kitchen, (I assume these are the Hoke children who live here):

here u see it closer in the film:



Architect of this House is Jeff Kovel.
You can find much more pictures of the house in the internet.

I’m not sure, but based on the trailer I saw for the sequel “New Moon,” it looks like the Cullens were filmed in a different house for it. It’ll be hard to top this one!
But maybe they aren't allowed this time to film there ?


But i still wonder, it isn’t how I imagined from the book’s description:
The house was timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It was painted a soft, faded white, three stories tall, rectangular and well proportioned.

Inside, however, it was described as being surprisingly contemporary:
It was very bright, very open, and very large. This must have originally been several rooms, but the walls had been removed from most of the first floor to create one wide space. The back, south-facing wall had been entirely replaced with glass…. The walls, the high-beamed ceilings, the wooden floors, and the thick carpets were all varying shades of white.




dont wonder why i choosed this one
the film (with the house) is known by so many people
and i know we have alot twilight fans in chobots
so they might find that interesting
and well i gather the books to often lol

This research is about "Rondavel"

This is an amazing house is called a rondavel, a traditional African-style house. They are usually round in shape and traditionally made with materials that can be locally obtained in raw form. The rondavel's walls are often constructed from stones. The mortar may consist of sand, soil, or some combinations of these mixed with dung.The floor is finished with a processed dung mixture to make it smooth. The roof braces of a rondavel are made out of tree limbs, which have been harvested and cut to length. The roof itself is made out of thatch that is sewn
to the wooden braces with rope made out of grass.

~snooopy63~

There alot of amazing houses around the world. I remember one time I learnt about something. And I really like this idea but I don't know if you would. But.... They built a house out of cans which is using recycling and good for the planet... and of COURSE CHOBOT PLANET.

I think it was a great idea.
-Will-

i decided to talk about the white house:
The White House is the official residence of the President of the United States, recognized worldwide as a symbol of the prestige of the presidency. Built between 1792 and 1800, the sprawling 132-room mansion has been used as a home by every President since John Adams.

The East Wing of the White House principally serves as offices for the First Lady and her staff. The First Family's quarters, located on the second and third floor of the historic White House, provide them with privacy and comfort away from the public spotlight. The West Wing is home to the President's office and those of his top staff.

On the pages that follow, you can learn more about the President's office, the many state rooms, and the grounds and history of America's most famous home.

Bubble House was constructed on Pierre Cardin’s demand. The project was being built by an architect named Antti Lovag for an industrialist with whom Lovag had become friends while building a previous house. The house was intended to demonstrate the possibility of short-circuiting traditional architecture in the name of original, contemporary design.
