Nautilus house, Residential building in Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico.
Description
This residence covers approximately 3,550 square feet (330 square meters) and features a spiral shell design inspired by natural forms, constructed from ferroconcrete and polyurethane foam.
History
Designed by architect Javier Senosiain and completed in 2006, the house became a notable example of organic architecture that applies principles observed in natural growth patterns.
Culture
The building reflects a design philosophy where architecture engages with nature through organic forms, creating living spaces that mimic the protective chambers found in mollusk shells.
Practical
The structure uses natural ventilation through ducts that guide air through the spiral form, regulating interior temperature during both warm and cold months without excessive energy consumption.
Did you know?
Interior spaces flow without traditional walls or sharp angles, with furniture and beds shaped like rock formations and a spiral staircase connecting different levels within the shell.
