Nautilus House:
Built by Javier Senosiain
Built in 2006
Located in Mexico City, Mexico
This place is private and a home to a family
There is no information available
This family that owns the house had a desire to be closer to nature and built their home based off of a shell structure.
I chose this building because the structure looked so unique and intriguing, and when I found out that it was someone's home, I had no know more. I love the bright colored used in the architecture and paint as it closely relates with nature. The fact that it is separated into chambers is also interesting.
