This is the Nautilus! A couple in Naucalpan, Mexico decided that they wanted an unconventional home. So they hired the designer Javier Senosiain’s and Senosiain Arquitectos to draw a unique, snail-shell shaped house. The house is an amazing combination of colors and shapes. It´s a work of mind bending architecture and art.
The designer calls the place a sparkling example of “Bio-Architecture”. “The building is based on the natural principles of organic forms bring us back to local history, tradition and cultural roots, in turn creating harmony with nature.”

I wish there was reference for the size of this house.
I know, I could not find it anywhere! But I added an overview picture of the house as a whole.. Maggie
This is really cool….I want one!
I’m so glad you stopped by my Sketches & Jottings blog. This is a glorious post!!
Thank you so much! I really loved all the amazing art on your page!
Wonderful!!!! Made me smile quite a bit! :o)
Sorry, I think it’s terrible – nothing wrong with the post .. but the house is totally wrong for me. Saying that – I love the stained window at the entrance side – very beautiful. We can’t love everything we see.
No, you are completely right we can´t love everything. I think the house is amazingly weird, but I could never live there 😉
Absolutely brilliant! It reminds me a little of some of Le Corbusier’s work in terms of the shapes and light. I love how everything grows out of the walls, like the faucet and dining table. I also love the indoor garden.
Reblogged this on coffee.paper.trend and commented:
Whoa.
This house is amazing! It never ceases to amaze me what human beings can do with their unlimited imaginations
I want to live there!
Crazy. That’s almost exactly like some place I was in in a really vivid dream I had a few years ago. It’s not identical but the shape is pretty much the same, if the colors are different…
I just love that mosaic-style window

Oh, lovely! This reminds me of a more glass-based Hundertwasser.
