The hermit crab home

This is a house straight out of the imagination of Roald Dahl. It makes you wonder why we all live in square boxes when we could have made our houses all shell shaped. Why didn't we make all of our houses shell shaped? Why did mediocrity win over creativity?

It's a good thing the internet came along to demonstrate that we needn't follow what seem like entrenched conventions. If you want a house built like a shell then go and build one, just look at what you might end up with! Square is SO pre-internet....

    That is awesome, although, I seen the results of that thinking in this pod, and *whispers* not sure I could spend longer than 20 minutes there without getting a headache...

  • Reminds me of Gaudi. And, of course, because it's a Nautilus shape, I'm thinking of Fibonacci and the Greek's Golden Phi. So, quite a cool thing! Thanks.

  • The name is wrong, you know. Not the "hermit crab" home, but the "Nautilus" home. Far better....

  • This is just beautiful. Containers can come in any shape. This design allows for a natural setting and colored light. As an artist it fulfills many of the components that I think make a better world. Non-conformity to rigid lines.
