Nautilus House

Looking like something straight out of a Barbarella DVD extra, this swingin’ cephalapad (oof) belongs to some lucky design-minded couple in Mexico City. Conceived by Arquitectura Organica’s Javier Senosiain (the mastermind behind such jaw-dropping works of organic design as the Quetzalcoatl Nest ), the house boasts spiral staircases, indoor gardens and a knockout mountain view. Its shell is made of ferrocement, an earthquake-resistant material consisting of cement, sand and water slathered on a wire frame. If you crave more Nautilus eye candy, check out Senosiain’s site.
