One can safely say about this man that he got carried away After all, the American Horace Burgess managed to build perhaps the largest birdhouse in the world. Only in it, besides birds, people can also safely live!

He began construction in 1993, with the intention of erecting a tiny hut, but it eventually grew to be practically a tower. The most intriguing aspect is that Horace constructed the house without the assistance of other builders or architects. He started working on the project after drawing it himself.

He used discarded shed boards, building detritus, and bits from abandoned houses as his materials. Good neighbors began to share materials over time. Imagine having a basketball court and even a chapel on your property.

And on the top floor there is a penthouse.There are a lot of stairs, corridors, terraces, balconies, and loggias, and even there are several secret rooms, only do not tell anybody.

However, the fire inspectorate did not give approval to this building and, due to the lack of safety equipment, did not allow living here But Horace himself continues to live in it. The man is very proud of his creation.
