Living in a Shell – Nautilus House

June 12th in:  Creative Houses, Urban Design

Hautilus house

This amazing house was build in 2006 by Arquitectura Orgánica. A young couple with two children from Mexico City who after living in a conventional home wanted to change to one integrated to nature. The goal of this project was to make it feel like an internal inhabitant of a snail, like a mollusk moving from one chamber to another, like a symbiotic dweller of a huge fossil maternal cloister.

Very unique and stunning

January 23rd

Wow!Awesome,indeed!I love your pictures!

January 19th

Looks like dome house!

January 17th

Gaudi, yes! But check out the careful orientation to sun exposure… and the use of materials that could be very organic, locally obtained in many parts of the globe and make possible “hand crafted” construction. Living in the round would, should and could be ultimately better than some of the inefficient boxes most of us call home! So please, go ahead and send me back to the 60′s…. when I can have enough “spare time” to be so creative and build like this!

people who lives in such house must be happy everyday.

Nice, but very expensive and, I think, inconvenient to live there for a long time.

April 1st

Seriously?! That is a sweet house! I would pay to go see that thing. Very unique and reminds me of the flinston’s house.

March 11th

Absolutely awesome! This home is a work of art!

March 11th

Another exotic house. I wonder what would be my feelings if I live in that house even for one day….Amazing work of arts.

Justin
March 4th

I can’t help but think of Final Fantasy VII with this one. Looks just like the houses in the City of the Ancients.

March 1st

This might seem bizarre to a lot of people. To me it’s just the natural extension of an artistic mind. It’s a home I’d love to live in, but even more than that, it’s a home I’d love to dream in. It’s the most creative architecture since Earth Homes.

Beautiful and unique house! It’s like you are living in a dwarf’s house. I love the colors! Very creative. Sometimes it is refreshing for the eyes to look at something different.

A rather self-conscious effort to be cool. Next up — a frying pan modeled after a seastar.

I used to think about living in such a house- but my dream house was covered with mother-of-pearl :)

May 22nd

Looks great, but still I would rather choose to live in a regular modern house ;)

May 22nd

wOw, they are just great. I to would love to have one of them as my bathroom. Dreams are Good.

Thanks for sharing this,

Amazing but how are there plants and trees in the house? Wouldn’t that cause problems? Like bugs. and how does it grow in there?

I so badly want to live in a house filled with plants…

Dennis
May 19th

Reminds me of the buildings in the Ancient City in Final Fantasy 7.

May 17th

I forget the name of the architect who designed this, but he is based in Mexico. His designs are all very organic, and striking. I would love to live in one of the homes he has built.

April 21st

Nice man! Creativity never ends :)

April 19th

organic living, brilliant, it’s great to see these twists in architecture. Excellent post

if it wasn’t so literal and every opening wasn’t like an orifice it might be cool. you can’t compare this to gaudi, what an insult

The designers must have drunk too much to build it:)

Anon
August 27th

Seems very Gaudi-esque, very cool

August 23rd

although the aesthetics are good, it looks dreadfully uncomfortable.

I love it, if only we had more adventurous organic, curvaceous architecture available on the property market. Sick of boxes and rectangles…. boring!

Juli
August 17th

How creative is that!!!!!! ??? Wonderful ideas! Way to think outside the box!

the bedroom is beautiful!

Nora
August 12th

Cool, but where’s the kitchen? The kid’s rooms? A living/dining area?

Wonderful, fun loving place.
Nature is beautiful, and so are copies and faithful reproductions of nature.
As natural and Eco friendly as could ever be….

Perfect place for (ahem) “exotic role-playing adventure night” – She’ll dress up like a crab, and I will wear an urchin costume. Bring on the KY! =P

June 20th

Beautiful house, I love it. I wish it weren’t so “themed” though.

June 20th

oh i’d love to spend my days in such a cool place to call home

June 20th

Swiss Toni

This person has too much spare time on their hands. Back to the 60′s with you! You have no place in the modern world! Oh yes, and take your plastic furniture with you!

Lorree Gardener Milne
April 29th

If the furniture was plastic, it might have been produces from recycled trash bottles or other “found objects”, like the mosaic of colored glass. Thought, ingenuity, skill and a fine meld with nature is what I see here. Gaudi, yes! But check out the careful orientation to sun exposure… and the use of materials that could be very organic, locally obtained in many parts of the globe and make possible “hand crafted” construction. Living in the round would, should and could be ultimately better than some of the inefficient boxes most of us call home! So please, go ahead and send me back to the 60′s…. when I can have enough “spare time” to be so creative and build like this!

Yo this is cool but kinda of ridiculous, its seems more like an action figure still in the box.

June 18th

This is amazing. How much did it cost to build this one of a kind home?

June 18th

I like the design of it; nice page.

June 17th

very impressive, not just the shape but all the living things that they have included inside. If I had the money…

Naida
