This House is Just a Shell...
THIS HOUSE IS JUST A SHELL...
If someone told you their house was just a shell you probably wouldn't be impressed - but this ocean-inspired residence really is a sight to SEA.
Wacky designer Javier Senosiain has created an eye-catching home that looks like it has been washed up from the deep.
The Mexico-based architect specialises in creating buildings inspired by nature and has based this work on the nautilus - a sea snail-like creature.
The eye-catching des res features an open plan spiral living space to make it a 'flowing social space'.
Entering through a stained glass window a circular tour of the house leads you to a comfy lounge, study, bathroom, bedrooms and kitchen.
Mr Senosiain explains: "To me, nature is the biggest source of inspiration. We find the shape instead of giving it shape."
His decision to use a shell for inspiration was partly because the building plot in Naucalpan, near Mexico City, was enclosed on three sides by tall buildings.
By putting the outward facing aspect of the property on just one side the owner can focus on views of the picturesque mountains on the horizon.
Using a technique called ferrocement construction, which involves a frame of steel-reinforced chicken wire with a special two-inch-thick composite of concrete spread over it, the structure is claimed to be earthquake-proof and maintenance-free.
The anonymous clients are a young couple with two children who lived in a conventional home but wanted to change to one integrated to nature.
Mr Senosiain says: "The metaphor would be to feel like an internal inhabitant of the snail, like a mollusc going from one chamber to another, like a symbiotic dweller of a huge fossil."
