Luxembourg  Balloons definitely seem to be the theme of Barbie's Luxe-mansion. 16. Ireland This mansion looks like we might imagine Enya's house looks like, all swirls and Celtic mysticism. 15. France  Barbie would be in for a real treat if she decided to settle en France, with this Marie-Antoinette-inspired chateau. 14. Japan  Barbie's Japanese gaff was bound to look a bit sci-fi in design, and this AI-generated image did not disappoint. 13.

Belgium This house looks straight out of a Wes Anderson set, even down to the retro-inspired car jauntily parked out front. 10. New Zealand  With some gentle nods to Hobbitland, Barbie would be forgiven for choosing the rolling landscape of New Zealand as her home. 9. Australia Potentially one of the best designs, Barbie would be forgiven for choosing to relocate to the land down under into this sweeping fluid house. 8. Netherlands  In typical Dutch design, Barbie's house has plenty of large windows. 7.

Switzerland Barbie will no doubt be living her alpine fantasy if she decided to relocate to Switzerland, with this four-storey mega structure. 3. Canada  This beast of a house looks, with every inch of the place decorated with carved stone roses, window ornamentation and fairy-tale-inspired turrets. 2. Denmark  An altogether more open-plan house with a well-designed mix of shapes, which looks straight out of an architect's dream mood board. 1. Sweden  Barbie would be well-placed in this Sabrina the teenage witch-inspired house set in front of a lake and surrounded by pine forests. All of the above images have been created using AI.
