shell house

something unique to look at, this stunning piece was design by Senosiain Arquitectos and influenced by pattern of a shell ( yes, very obvious). was constructed from a combination of steel wire and a super thick concrete, looking strong and also hmm strange...it is able to stand strong during an earthquake and is low in maintenance structurally...




inside the house, the form of the exterior continues to wrap and connect to each space. the garden element was used inside with plants, organic pattern and stone path...
i think, this house has an amazing aesthetic value... it is just something that you would see in a fairy-tale, very whimsical, like you're in a sculptural artsy dream...is it a livable space? i question that.. but.. it is highly original in creative wise, space, and material...
the coloured glass is just an amazing feature for the house as it glows in natural light in different colour, bringing different moods in the space. the use of mosaic with stone are just amazing and the nature element softened the area in the middle...just pure genius!
i would actually like to experience living in this space for awhile and if..IF, i do get filthy rich, would actually design one similar like this, small version, for a secret gateway place or a fun house for my future kids..;)


p/s: can u recognised the style of this structure?...i say..Antoni Gaudi Gaudi Gaudi!!!
