Do they accept whimsical rustic play money for that $295,000 price tag?

I remember seeing a house like this once that was made by spraying some kind of chemical foam on a simple frame or balloon. I mistrust it for multiple reasons.

I hate it. I love weird architecture, but this just looks janky. The window insets appear to be 55 gallon barrels cut to fit. Maybe the organic shapes are concrete, but they look like spray foam. And judging by the proportions shown, moving around inside seems like a problem,

Throw in some sea urchin chairs and I might be interested

I know @j9c had some plausible looking explanation but I’m sure you’re really thinking of the Barbapappa house:

The Barbapapa family did not all remain fun. Some took a more sinister path.
