In the Shell I Dwell: Swirly Nautilus Shell House
Written By John Mackey
Picture yourself in a house like a seashell With tangerine chairs and marmalade eyes
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A wall with kaleidoscope eyes.
John and Yoko would have dug this groovy psychedelic sea-shell-shanty designed and built in Mexico City. The goal of this project? To make one funky Mexican couple feel like “symbiotic dwellers in a huge maternal fossil cloister, moving from one chamber to another.”
This swirly wonderland was designed and built by the architectural firm of Senosiain Arquitectos, and judging by the bizarre design of their Nautilus House, their name might translate to, “Architects who watch SpongeBob on Sensamilla.” Mexico City is a modern city built on top of an ancient Spanish city, built on top of an even more ancient Aztec city, built on an island in an antediluvian lake bed surrounded by towering volcanic peaks. So it’s easy to recognize how this sense of constant change and evolution has had a profound effect on the city’s character, not to mention architecture.
