As a big fan of Dragon Ball z, most people's focus will definitely be on the classic character design and the bond between them or intense unpredictable fights.In general, the visuals have always been nothing less than amazing and the architectural designs will definitely make your eyes pop, so let's take a look at some of the classic monolithic buildings by Mr. Toriyama.
Kame House
|
"Master Roshi's house. It is located on a small island far out in the ocean, but it still gets good reception, meaning TVs and phones work quite well. Master Roshi usually uses a submarine when he goes shopping. Secrets of Kame House 1: The house can be stored in a capsule, and indeed this was once needed for Goku and Krillin's training." |
Kame Hausu (カメハウス Kame Hausu) is a house located on a very small island in the sea. It is the home of Master Roshi, and for most of the Dragon Ball series, it is also the home of Genki. It is also the permanent home of Krillin. He still lives there with his wife and daughter during the Majin Buu saga. In Dragon Ball Super, Klin and his family move to Satan City. Its address is NBI 8250012 B.
Overview
The house itself is very distinctive. It is painted pink with a red roof and the words "Kame House" are prominently displayed on the front of the superstructure. The Kame House was the main training ground for Goku, Krillin, and later Yamcha in the Tournament and Zaizen Baba sagas. It was built strong enough to withstand tsunamis, as evidenced by Krillin, who, while attempting to practice his Kamehameha techniques while forgetting about his breakup with Malone, accidentally triggered a tsunami that engulfed the house, which remained unscathed in its wake. This was probably designed in case a student made a mistake while using Kamehameha.
In the Dragon Ball anime, it is the actual stronghold of Team Dragon, but in Dragon Ball Z, Team Dragon uses the Watchtower as their base of operations, and due to its location, they primarily use the house as a hideout. One example of this is Goku recovering from a viral heart attack and hiding there with some other Z Fighters.
Relocations
Kame House appears to be a prefabricated building, as it can be capsulized and relocated with ease. When Goku and Krillin begin their training under Roshi, he places the house inside a capsule and moves it to a larger island. Some time after the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament takes place, Kame House is apparently moved back to its original location.
During the King Piccolo Saga, Kame House is moved again, in order to hide it from King Piccolo's henchman Tambourine. Eventually Tambourine does locate it, although ironically he had stopped to ask directions to the original island. He fights the injured Yamcha, but is forced to leave before he can kill his target.
In addition, the appearance of the small island on which Kame House is usually situated changes several times throughout the series. It can be presumed that the house is relocated to different islands for reasons unknown.

Goku's House
"The house Goku and his family call home. Though it doesn't look like it from the outside, it is a two-story building. Goku often heats a drum filled with water outside and uses it as a makeshift bath."
— Goku's House Z-Encyclopedia Summary in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
Goku's House (孫そん悟空ごくうの家いえ孫悟空の家) is the house where Goku and his family live. Sometime after the 23rd World Martial Arts Championship, King Bull bought this large house for Goku, Jiji and their family to live in together. Incidentally, King Bull often spends time with his family here as well.
Overview
Goku's home was featured in the very first episode of Dragon Ball Z. However, in the Dragon Ball manga, Goku's house does not officially appear until the middle of the Frieza saga. As a result, the design of the house in the anime was initially different from that in the manga (though still similar in size), and it is located next to Gohan's grandfather's house at the foot of the forest near Mount Pojo. The anime version of the house also appeared in the first five Dragon Ball Z movies and several video games. However, in Robotech Saga, Goku's house in the anime was changed to look like it did in the manga and moved away from Grandpa Gohan's hut.
Goku's house has a kitchen in the white hut area, and a bedroom and another bedroom on the other side of the big house or in the narrow side area connected to it. An outdoor bathtub (which is actually an iron bucket placed over a fire) also appears in the first four Dragon Ball Z movies and at the end of The Legend of Kid Buu.
Android 16 told Android 17 and Android 18 that Goku's home was in the East End, and that the exact address was 439 East End, 58N 018.
In the alternate timeline of Future Trunks, Goku's home is where Future Gohan died of a heart virus, with his bedside surrounded by his wife Future Chi-Chi, family, friends, and other Future Z Fighters. After the deaths of all the Z Fighters except Future Gohan, due to the threat of robots, Future Bullseye moved into his daughter Future Chi-Chi's home, and Future Gohan actually moved away in order to be ready to fight the robots, leaving Future Chi-Chi alone.
In the Dragon Ball Super anime, Gohan moves into a house in Satan City after marrying Videl. In the episode "Goku's Energy Out of Control? The Struggle to Take Care of Pan" episode, Goku, Chi-Chi, and Goten are forced to temporarily move into Gohan, Videl, and Pan's house. By the next episode, however, Goku's house is back to normal.
In the anime Dragon Ball Z's "Legend of the Peaceful World", Gohan lives in a house next door to Goku's house along with Videl and Pan, and remains so in Dragon Ball GT. In the episode "World Problems", both Goku's and Gohan's houses are destroyed by Gohan and Goten, who are infected with the Baby Virus, while fighting Goku and Pan. Later, after defeating Baby, both houses, along with the Earth, are restored by Boronga.
