Dome Homes, Marco Island, Florida
These futuristic looking dome homes in Marco Island, Florida were built by a retired oil tycoon who wanted these to be an eco-friendly vacation home option. However, difficult weather led to eroding shorelines which meant the homes became unlivable. There are no plans to try to repurpose the domes, but they do look a little like Florida’s version of Stonehenge.
Kolmanskop, Namibia
Kolmanskop was once home to diamond mining and was quite the extravagant spot in 1908 Namibia. However, as diamond mining moved south, the town was completely abandoned and left behind. Its once bustling homes are now filled with sands and have appeared in films such as 1993’s Dust Devil and 2000’s The King Is Alive.
