Ever wish you could just disappear? Well, a camouflage home may be the answer! These noticeable or unnoticeable homes are the examples of amazing architectural skills. From modern estates to funky little mud huts built by hand.

Camouflage Homes

                             Wood House, Hilversum, Netherlands
This mini-dwelling is disguised as a pile of wood that's been stacked for the winter. In actuality, the building is a pre-fab structure made of steel and plastic. The log-like appearance was achieved by applying a wood veneer.

                            Leaf Box, San Francisco, California

This modern cube, which stands behind a San Francisco row house, is actually an art studio. The verdant plant life that grows on its walls was introduced to make the boxy building blend into the property's adjacent parkland.

                            Dune Home, Atlantic Beach, Florida

Carved into the dunes of Atlantic Beach, Florida, these two psychedelic apartments are pure 1970s. Native landscaping on the exterior ensures comfortable 70-degree temperatures indoors. Created by architect William Morgan, they were constructed using technology that was devised to create unite swimming pools.
