The Nautilus Home is a cartoon-like combination of bright vibrant colors and a gigantic shell-shaped design. It’s a real home, located in Mexico City and occupied by a young couple and their two small kids. Not only does the Nautilus Home look like a giant work of art, but because it’s built from a mix of chicken wire and concrete (among other things) and takes cues from a Nautilus shell (hence the name) it’s also an earthquake-proof and maintenance-free structure. And that’s always handy.
The inside decor is all about smooth rounded surfaces, rich colors, and greenery all over the place. And even though the home is surrounded by Mexico City on 3 sides, the West side has most of the windows and faces out to a beautiful view of the mountains.
I really enjoy it, but for anything other than a vacation home it might get old — living in this house must make a person feel like they’re in a tropical version of Whoville.
