Now that’s a post V-Day Miracle! One that can be spawned only by love. Love for art, love for architecture.
You know I can’t help it when finding something like that, even if it’s not signed by Karl The Lagerfeld or shown off by Kate La Moss, I absolutely have to share beauty with you!
Nautilus Shell House was build for a Mexico City couple by Senosiain Arquitectos. Leaving heavy architectural details aside (always loved architecture but only as an amateur so I won’t charge you with construction mumbling), the house is put together using a frame of steel-reinforced chicken wire with a concrete spread over it, resulting an earthquake proof structure.
Just take at a look at that smooth interior, spiraled and invaded by nature.
Looks to me like a dream house made by people who aren’t afraid to make every dream come true. And it’s the second example of what a great house love can build that I give you.
I have to wonder, anyway, if they have kids. And if so, how old are they? Because I know a couple of toddlers more than happy to decompose the place into little, tiny pieces.
I guess it’s only up to me, writing the Mexico City Nautilus couple for a visit in their dream shell of a house.
What about you? Would you live in such a home? Or you’re more conservative?

Beautiful, so soothing
This is amazing, and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. To be honest, I’m slightly claustrophobic. I don’t think that I could personally live in it – it looks like there are some pretty small spaces in there.

wow,I was wanting to build one of these for my mermaid, Cherry.She would like this vey much.
looks like final fantasy 7 houses in the village where Aeris dies
@ari it’s almost unbelievable that people actually live in there!
@Laura pictures have a way of deforming spaces. Truth enough, I have no idea how space is calculated in this mansion, I think it’s the curbed walls that give the impression of claustrophobic environment (I am a little stressed by little spaces too!).
@yoko uno so what stopped you from building it?:P
@Fred It’s slightly resembling. However I had the impression that the FF house was more underwater. But maybe it’s just my non-gaming self speaking :)

Yes, the husband and wife have two kids.
The house looks like something out of the original Star Trek series. I half expect some alien babe in a beehive ‘do to pop out or something. :D
it’s certainly an artistic Revolution! I feel rhythmic balance is very good from interior inside and the exterior is a classic feel of aesthetic beauty of Shell.
Why have I never commented on this? It’s so amazing and dreamy and so nice there’s not a Karl or a Kate insight….
