Yurts, igloos, teepees. The homes of past eras tended to be round, not square.
These days, round homes are rarer finds. But for those willing to think beyond a square box for home design, there are some very cool—and very curvy—options out there. Some are built with sustainability in mind, or reflect a modernist design. Buckminster Fuller famously promoted the geodesic dome for its efficient architecture, and even patented his invention.
We’ve been thinking in circles lately, as we came across some truly eye-popping edgeless houses. Bonus: With no corners, cleaning is a breeze—as long as you don’t get dizzy.
Take a spin through these awesome round homes on the market.
