It’s more of a sculpture than a dwelling. Taking cues from a Nautilus shell, the house is put together using ferrocement construction, a technique involving a frame of steel-reinforced chicken wire with a special two-inch-thick composite of concrete spread over it, resulting in a structure that’s earthquake-proof and maintenance-free.
Read More Here There are photos of the interior and more information about the design itself. It feels like a dream to me! I can image the reflections inside, the comforting cocoon of space and I'll admit that the phrase 'maintenance-free' gets right to my heart. But what would you expect from a woman with a Roomba named Hey You?
I'm thinking there are only a few people who would wish for this. What do you think?

Fascinating but the kind of dwelling you'd have to live up to if you understand what I mean.
Wow, very beatuiful!
Wish you a blessed Christmas!:-)
I'm also thinking only a few people would wish for this, but wouldn't they be fun to know! I would love to peek inside....
Now that is a dream house - literally.
What a unique structure - reminds me of a snail. A great choice for W :)
I like this - alot. It's going on my wish list.
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are." It looks fairly celestial.
What an interesting building. Don't wish to live there!
Have a wonderful holiday!
I had to check out the link to the website to see the inside of this one-of-a kind dwelling! It is lovely, but I think I'd rather not live inside a snail's shell:)
Wishing you a happy holiday season!
Fascinating building, but not sure whether it would qualify as a comfortable home. Do you really call your Roomba Hey You, - I am more inclined to "Sweetheart" or some such endearment!
perfect!
What an incredible "W"! I would love to live Nautilus shelly! WAIT. Would I have to wear harem pants???
It would have been experience to see, visit, experience and photograph. And besides? I would have to do all that first :-)
It's beautiful and the colours inside are so exquisite. I don't know if I want to live in such a house, for I must have space for my books, TV and a lot of other things. I would feel like being in a fairy tale!!
Wonderful! The diversity of ABC Wednesday is awesome! Thanks so much for contributing!
Merry Christmas

Wow, that is beautiful!
I think this building would be a perfect spot for lunch!
Hope you are staying warm.
May your wishes come true.
Merry Christmas.

How beautiful, wonderfully imaginative interior, though I wonder if it would get a bit claustrophobic after the novelty had worn off.
Beautiful. I wonder what it looks like inside.
Happy Holiday
Oops, interupted by a phone-call, so coming back to wish you a carefree Christmas holiday.
I always find such beauty here. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I took a look and it looks great inside as well. If it's quake proof places like Japan, Indonesia, Philippines should take inspiration.
So that's the word for that kind of construction! My husband has done that and made large fake boulders. I wish I had that sculpture in my yard!
Great image!
What an awesome dwelling! Thanks for stopping by, I'm late getting around for my visits!
