There used to be an octagon shaped house in the Thorncliffe area. Is it still there? Actually octagon isn't right - it basically was a house shaped like a ball.

I kinda like the look of that place with all its unusual spaces, but having to have a ladder in your bedroom to get up to one of them is pretty weird.

Geodesic dome house? Canmore has a few of those. I had a friend live in one, and it was less spacious on the inside than outside. All around pretty awkward.

I have seen this one while running along the 14th St pathway. Maybe it's what you're thinking, kind of close to Thorncliffe.

Those angles in the Toblerone house make for some interesting illusions. They can be a little hard on the eyes and your sense of orientation. Things seem tilted sometimes.

I like this Korean TV show take on Calgary better, which focuses on the mountains, steak, and the c-train (that last one is kinda weird). Turn CC on
