The Bloomhouse is one of the most unique houses to have ever been built. Located in West Austin, a visit to this house is a trip within itself. There are literally no flat walls inside, making it truly an architectural work of art.

The home was originally constructed in the 1970s by architecture student Charles Harker as his thesis project, in collaboration with Dalton Bloom. They wanted to create a space that was harmonious with nature. 

Inside the main area of the bloomhouseThe organic, curving design was inspired by the flow of air and music.  You can hear more about their inspiration in this YouTube video. It took over 11 years to build, and for many years, existed without even a physical address.

Unfortunately the home was neglected for some time and eventually put up for sale. It wasn't until 2017 that Dave Claunch and his wife bought the property and undertook its restoration to transform it into a vacation rental property.
