10 Buildings Shaped Like What They Sell

There's always money in the banana stand.

I was really hoping not to see a sex shop on that list.

Its wednesday, and that means, HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!

what an amazing blog!

Congrats and share the love :)

wow !
that's very cool ! :)))))
58,000 gallons of milk????
is that a real one ?
where is it ?

Hey Miss C.. Nice post again :-) What is your favourite building? I'd say the library's garage! Also because some of my favourite books are used...

Cheers, keep up the good work,
HappyJ

I want to take a plain go to one of these places and by whatever they sell.
kaibaker

That's a great idea! Of course i'm guessing you cannot do that with every types of products can you? Although i would love to see huge socks or teddy bears in the city center of my hometown !!!

I wish my library had that kind of garage :D So cool!
Love your blog btw :D

Neat photos and link.

I am from the UK and think we would struggle to get around our planning laws for think like that.

Where are you based? do you get any negative vibes from the local planning depts??

cheers

taylor

Hey that's really cool!! :)
Although i guess you cannot really do that with every type of products can you? Anyway i would love to see a giant sock or teddy bear in the middle of the city center in my hometown!!!

We got quiet few in My Country, like Soya sauce building and Candy.. btw why i can only see one Building how can i see the others? thanks dude

Very inovative marketing design.
Wouldn't it be great for new or existing brands to travel around some cities with these 'buildings'.
A good way to impulse people and leave a good memory!
Where is this one located?

Best regards,

Wendy

Just great! At Madrid airport there is somenthing similar but in this case is a gigant Danone's yoghurt! I love it. And the frozen yoghurt they sell in is...mmm yummy! Congrats for your blog.

That's awesome
Thanks for sharing :)

This is fun! It is just so interes]ting to see where peoples' creativity goes. An idea for following blogs - places where they hace mascots who look like the product the sell. That might be fun as well! Keep doing great job :)

I looooooove the Library's parking garage, it is BY FAR my favorite!

Which one do you like best??

Congrats on your blog, keep up the good work!

Intan Citra, click the word "Link" amd that will take you to the original list.

They are very nice constructions, buildings...differents, but my question is...how far I turn myself in a bottle of milk when I get inside?

Mnancuspia :-)

In Spain there are no buildings like that, jajajaj are very enterteining
Where it is?

I love Life ! I'm A happy hunter guys !!!! Always remember to love yourself , believe yourself .. BE HAPPY !!!!!! - Desigual-

Netrina !!! <3 <3 <3

I am pretty sure the world would be a much much happier place if everything were made to look like that! Can you imagine being somewhere you didn't know and looking for a pub to go to, all you would have to do is wander around until you saw a building that looked like a pint glass.
It would certainly make searching for a toilet a lot easier when you are desperate. What would you like your house to be shaped like?
Keep up the blogging and have a very HAPPY Wednesday! X

I loved the first one of the list. The basket is neat! But you're right, it's hard to change your line of business with a building like that! XD!

Hi! Do you know where is this building in particular? I want to write about it.

Budget day here in Ireland, more doom and gloom forecast, if Ireland were a building it would be a big, empty bubble full of hot air, no change that 'cold' air, it's freezing here and I ain't just talking the economy. In desperate need of a new coat. Go on make my dreary, budget day a litle more happy and reply to me asap. 'Green is the colour'. Love and Peace. x Nuala

Well done Miss C... fascinating post. I'd honestly never seen any such buildings.

Funny to notice that the majority of them are in the US! I wonder if there are any outside of Turkmenistan... hmmm...

Wonderful whimsical architecture!

Thanks to Desigual I knew about your blog and it’s just GREAT !!!
I won’t have any possibility to get a present from Desigual…. UNLESS you sent me a tiny little message with my name… Would you do that??? What are you waiting for?
Your blog has now a nice place in my favourites…!!!
Don’t forget be HAPPY !!!! Cheers !!! ? Cristina ?

This is a very innovative marketing. I thing that in a world filled with different advertising it is important to have a different idea. Surely everyone noticed those buildings that bring smile to every viewer. And that is what is important. To be HAPPY and different, innovative things bring smile...

McDonalnds Lamp Post is also a good example of innovative marketing.

Have a happy smiling day.

Hey!

This is a bookmark. I will need your blog in the future, i think.
My life is full of thinking and being creative. I need more inspiration and your blog is giving me the inspiration! Thank you very much.

Can I do something for you?
Just ask....

Keep up the posting.

Sun on your path

Grtz,
Frisgenoeg

And what does sell there???

Amazing designs, do you know of any architect specialized on this kind of building??

All buildings are great but the ones I like the most are Kansas City's library and the furneturesland's. Amazing!

Tonixte

This is the great thing about architecture today, you can almost build whatever you want, I have seen the Munich one in person but now there are few that I really need to see in person, the basket and the chest of drawers... :) At the moment I am researching some other building like those to see if there is one close to where I am :). Once I saw a van shaped like a lemon...even vans that looks like what they sell might be an interesting topic :D if you are interested i can look for the picture and send it to you...Thank you for share those funny building!!

WOW! where is it? it`s original and funny! Have you got more photos like this? thank you very much! you are an artist!! I wait for your happy answer!

This is a good one!
Where is this building? (my grandson is asking me) Great blog, Congrats!
Odila

It´s funny and original at the same time. You can´t be wrong going that place. How about a muffin shape building? Doesn´t it taste delicious?

haha, that's great. Absolutely foolproof when they are selling what they look like. Although I would be somewhat confused if I found that wonderfull book-shaped building to be a parking garage. Wouldn't you?

-Gitta

lol!! I'm architect and I'm concerned about everything that happens in the city!
where is this building? it would be nice visit it!!

Really interesting picture!! It is nice.
Thanks for show us. Hugs and kises form Spain. MARTUCHI

Great blog! Thanks to Desigual 've discovered it :) keep on going and thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us :)

Indeed a great form of advertising, it must be really successful :)

It would be nice to collect all pictures of such buildings in a collection to share. That'd be an amazing set, don't you think ? :)

It would also make for a very good excuse for a nice trip around the globe! :D

I hope, though, they'll never go out of business as selling that building would be very though!

Anidel

In what place of the world is this?
I like it!

Where is this building? My kid is asking me. Thanks for the info ;)
cesardv

It's great to find notebooks like yours.
HAPPY HAPPY HUNTERS. If you respond to this note I able to get a gift. Thanks for everything and happy day

What does Neatorama want to say?
To what does it refer?
I like your blog!
I have come to him across Desigual

Hi HAPPY HUNTERS
It's great to find notebooks like yours.
HAPPY HAPPY HUNTERS. If you respond to this note I able to get a gift. Thanks for everything and happy day

Also do you sell products across the blog?
It is brilliant.

I´m here across Desigual happpy hunters, but I come back!. Great Job and very interesting.

OK, I get it. A clothing store sent you here on a sort of scavenger hunt thing. If you are really interested in the buildings, click the word Link in the post.

Amazing! Where was the pic taken? It`s so funny! I wish we could have buildings like this in The Netherlands. It would be so much funnier going shopping! I wonder if Jack Daniels has something like it, at least I think the pic is from the USA? Or is it the UK? Would like to hear from you about it!

Have a nice and happy Wednesday!

kind regards,

Sylvia

haha, very clever indeed! Do you know where this shop is located?

I am very intrigued by your entire blog as well. Keep up the great work, there are so many things to discover here! Please answer me, and continue blogging!

Best wishes
Flyra

Miss Cellania, great link, have you ever seen the building of Lucy the elephant in New Jersey or The donut hole in La Puente California? If anyone wants to find out more about the subject of Novelty Architecture check out, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_architecture. Its a good first step. Thanks for the post.

This blog is a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dismal news day.

My plan is to now find each of these buildings and take my own photos.

I salute you :)

WOW, how cute! this building is funky!!

where is it? I want to take a picture with me in it and show my friends!!

CARTEDOR

Nice ads, the media as the sixth power!!
Where's exactly this picture been taken?
gabs

WOW, it looks impressive and everybody knows what he/she can buy there ;)
do you have more examples or is this huge milk bottle the only think you have found?
where did you get your inspiration from?
Have a nice day
Vanessa

i can't belive it's true... what was in high? It seems too big

this 'bottle' sells themselve, don't u think?

Amaaazing! Want one for my grandma's garden ;)
Nice blog, loved the shop too.

Mochilis

This building it´s perfect next to a Randy Donut´s store!!! I just can imagine that!! Delicious sites and the dream for a bunch of kids!!!

Take care!!

Marjorie.

Hi miss Celliana
As you can realize I´ve just arrive here as many other people for the clothing competition.

I want to apologize for such a kind of interference asking silly things in your blog

Fortunately we´ll only ruin this entry

thanks for your understanding and have a great day

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! BROTHER!!! Since España!!!

Amazing buildings. People must use their imagination more frequently :D .
I would like to see how it would be a building for a chocolate seller. If exists and you have the pic I will love your blog eternally :D!

Pd: ye, I do really love chocolate :3

Imagine a shop selling chocolate and candies... and has a shape of a candy... the 2010 version of Hansel and Gretel :P !

Ok, but is this one shaped like a banana?
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/blog/banana-museum-banana-bread/
What's YOUR guess??

Excellent Idea, I think it really attracts customers this way, and that is what marketing is all about. I am from Gibraltar, unfortunately we have little land, but we could make a little space for a building like these. Oh by the way do you deliver to Gibraltar?

Thanks

WOW!! Nice buildings... ;)

Never thought that they could realy exist!! This looks like those kiosks we can by in the facebook games... :D

Where can I find this milk bottle ice cream stand? Is it in Europe? Thanks for sharing... ;)

It will be a good example for the childeren!
Where i can find it? I will go there!
It is lovely!

Lot of love Judith

In Spain there is a proverb that sais:

You'll never go to bed without knowing 1, 2, or 3 new things.

Amazing pictures! xD I love the milk bottle building! XDD

Tx and c u soon!

I want you to have a beautiful day. And my message to draw a big smile on your lips.

Really cool! i wish we had buildings like this in my country, I guess the product would sell better as well!

Hello, this is a cool post. Stumbled upon your blog... Or if I was more honest, my bro sent me a link cos he knows I love funky architecture and design.

England would be a happier place if we had more buildings like these!

Debsfz

oi oi. This reminded me of those 20 things you should see or 15 places to go in the christmas you get on msn, only better. When i was in norfolk we went past a giant strawberry! and the darth vader thing is awesome. you have to be so clever to make them. I love all of your blog to be honest, i probably shouldnt go on and on about it or you may get bored. It seems extremely popular! how long have you been blogging? i recently started one myself but it failed magnificantly. >_<
yours however, is amazin!
Love hugs and happy vibes
Abbey Longlegs

a childhood flashback: the mouse that lived in a shoe... wonder how would one decorate a milk bottle to live in... funny!!!!
xxx

I like it!! Realy nice picture. Where is it?. Thanks for your work and your reply!!

In Barcelona (spain) have an office building that is like a penis, it could be the site for a sex shop hahaha!
Nice Post, happy day!!

Such a cool, clever, original idea.

Life can be too dull and we all need reasons to be cheerful...

Where was the photo taken please?

Daisy Tyra xxx

This certainly is a neat site - the only problem is you are offering too many excellent things I'd like to put in some Christmas stockings - can we buy the lip balms from you here in uk?
Thanks

Ohhhhh!! It's very beautiful!! I want a house like that!

Sorry for my bad english..I'm spanish and now I'm going to English's class!! jijij!!

So I can practice my English!!! Sure I have many spelling mistakes..sorry..:(

Your work is fantastic!! very well!!

Congratulations!!
I hope you answer me because I love to have one of those winter coats!! Pleaseee!
jijji!!

Byeee!!

Cool! very honest advertising from the products they sold.
It will bring the curiosity, esp from stanger like me who even don't know what brand is Hood! I hope they sell good...

Hahaha i like it!!! I want to go there!! Where is?? I'm from Spain and here haven't buildings so funnies! Here we have buildings very cools, do you know who is Gaudí?? If you come to Spain, i think that it will like you x)(sorry for my poor english ^^U)

kisses from Spain!!

Knowing I might possibly not get a reply, and your blog will be flooded with comments. Just would like to say keep up the good work and not making this a boring one... ;)

That is amazing! I can't believe that buildings like this exist! If you could be there I reckon it would be like being in "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" hehe!
What kind of item would you supersize to make a building out of?
I would make a big shiny disco ball!
What do you think?

These are just great.
Would love to see a hamburger this size :-)
X Ice-Angel

Can you imagine a whole city full of this kind of buildings? I'm sure there's a tourist agency already thinking about it!

LBR

Wow, this is incredible. I would like to see much more of these things in my surrounding. It makes world much happier!

Really amazing!!!! I was walging on your shop and it's really funny!!! I fell in love with some of the toys. Are the shipment so expensive to Spain????

HAve a good day!

Wow. I loved the 10 buildings. Especially the basket! And I'm not going to look at the 10 terrifying clown, i'm already afraid of clowns, brrrr.
greetingz from Holland... :-) mibo

Make love, not war!

Happy regards,

Emiel2punt0

Really interesting! It must be lovely to live in a city with such original buildings!!

I don't know if the mod of this website is very happy with the fload of happy poeple, just hunting for a free piece of clothing. But I can tell you at least it let me have a look around on your website en the 10 buildings. The picture of Kansas City Public Library’s parking garage is my favourite. A very nice way to dress up a parking garage. This is something that more architects of garages should do.
Happy Greetings from Holland

If the shape of a monument would be in relationship of his function, the washinton monument would rather be a tribute to Bill Clinton.

And what would the place look like where you would live?

YVES

Hola! en mi país no hay edificios de este estilo, la verdad que me ha resultado curioso! ¿de verdad existe? me ha resultado curioso! en España lo máximo que he visto son globos gigantes, pero un edificio es una pasada! Felíz día. Saludos E_mary25

sorry: Hello! in my country there are no buildings of this style, I found it really funny! Does it really exist? I found it funny! in Spain as much as I've seen are giant balloons, but a building is so cool! Happy day. Greetings E_mary25

At last architecture that is art!
Glad to see the world has buildings other than Starbucks and McDonalds!

Emiel2punt0, we are glad to have you all, especially if you come back to visit Neatorama again!

This has brightened my day. So glad I came across it. However isn't there also a giant hamburger shaped cafe in LA? I'm not sure I have that right.

Love love love the page!

Hahahahaha
I do love that kind of stuff! :D Where is this one?
I like your blog! I follow it in twitter from 5 minutes ago, so I dont miss anything anymore ;P

Big hug!
