Imagine living in a house in the shape of a seashell. In Mexico City there
is a house like that. The architect of the house is Javier Senosiain. The
Nautilus House is the house of a young couple and their two children.
The house has got two floors and spiral staircases. Inside there is a
living room, a huge bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. There are
plants in every room. The bathroom is blue and yellow with small
windows everywhere. It’s very bright. In the living room there is a grass
carpet on the floor, a stream and windows of different colours. Outside
there is a nice garden with trees. The house is earthquake-proof.
It’s also friendly to the environment and has a great view of the
mountains. It’s like Alice in Wonderland!
