As far as unique houses go, this one is pretty up there. The Nautilus House is designed as a snail shell by architects at Senosiain Arquitectos for a Mexico City young couple with two children who, after living in a conventional home, wanted to change to one integrated with nature. The abode takes the shape of a shell and the interiors flow smoothly to gel with the exteriors. The multi-colored mosaic glass reflects the daylight adding to the drama while the spherical skylights ensure natural lighting throughout the house. I love this house.  The metaphor was to feel like an internal inhabitant of a snail, like a mollusk moving from one chamber to another, like a symbiotic dweller of a huge fossil maternal cloister. This home social life flows inside the Nautilus without any division, a harmonic area in three dimensions where you can notice the continuous dynamic of the fourth dimension when moving in spiral over the stairs with a feeling of floating over the vegetation.
