The world's population has exceeded 7 billion inhabitants and the number of inhabitants continues to increase every year. It is expected that by 2045 the number of people on Earth will reach 9 billion. This fact makes you think about the place and living conditions.

Website The Move Channel offers 7 unusual places to stay:

1. At home in space

With the development of space tourism, living in space can also gain popularity. A space hotel project is already being developed in Russia, and perhaps in the near future space houses will appear that will be able to accommodate residents of crowded megacities.

2. Houses in the sea

More than 70% of the surface of our planet is occupied by the ocean. Peter Thiel and the Seasteading Institute, an organization dedicated to the creation of marine settlements and cities, decided to use this space to their advantage. Over the next few years, the company plans to build the first floating platform, which will be installed off the coast of San Francisco. According to preliminary estimates, the price of living space will be equal to the cost of apartments in New York or London.

3. Houses between buildings

If there is not enough living space in ordinary houses, then you can build a house where at first it will seem impossible to live - between buildings. Pole Jakub Szczeny designed the world's narrowest house, which is located in Warsaw. The maximum width of the house is 122 cm. The project was developed for the writer Etgar Keter. You can get into the building using a retractable ladder controlled by a remote control. The construction of the house is scheduled to be completed in December this year.

4. Houses-cars

An engineer from Austria, Markus Wolgreiter, has developed a house project that resembles a Volkswagen Beetle car in shape. The house is located on the outskirts of Salzburg. The headlights and windshield of this house-car serve as windows, and the exhaust pipe serves as a hood.

5. Treehouses

Architects from different countries are developing unusual designs for tree houses. For example, in France on Mount Saleve, the house is built on a pine tree. To get into this house, you need to climb a spiral staircase. But what a view opens from the bedroom of this house to Lake Geneva.

6. Modular houses

Modular or prefabricated houses are becoming an increasingly popular option for living in densely populated areas. The production of such houses was launched this year by Tumbleweed Tiny House Company in the USA, there are available offers from $99. The area of modular houses starts from 6 sq. m.
Finnish architect Matti Suuronen designed a prefabricated house in the form of a flying saucer. Such a house is mobile enough, it can be built anywhere in the world, even on steep cliffs.

7. Australia

The average population density in Australia is one of the lowest in the world – just over 2 people per square kilometer. In addition, it is one of the most developed countries in the world.

People often talk about these places breathlessly, calling them the most beautiful on the Turkish coast: lagoons with the purest turquoise water, cozy coves near rocky shores overgrown with cedar and pine, ancient monuments hidden in the mountains or, on the contrary, in the middle of modern buildings; It is not surprising that real estate here is quite expensive, although cheaper than in the elite Bodrum.
