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.

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!

June 20th

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

That is sick!! Beautiful house! …but looks like the architect was on quite the trip when he thought this up– but nevertheless awesome!

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….

Nora

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

August 14th

the bedroom is beautiful!

Juli

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

August 23rd

although the aesthetics are good, it looks dreadfully uncomfortable.

Anon

This is the limit of dreams I think.
The designers must have drunk too much to build it:)

john
April 16th

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

April 16th

who wouldn’t want to live in a fairytale – I can’t imagine EVER having a bad day in this space! sigh….

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

April 21st

Nice man! Creativity never ends :)

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.

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

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…

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,

John from Australia

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

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.
