Casa Nautilus, a benchmark for organic architecture

Javier Senosiain's project consists of a construction at the bottom of the property, surrounded by a garden, With pedestrian and vehicular accesses on the front, thus a little traditional facade.

For its construction, this architect used natural materials such as stone, earth and wood, as well as materials that can be recycled. However, its structure was created with steel frames coated with wire mesh and a thin layer of concrete.

Thanks to this technique, this house has rounded and natural curves, without load walls or pillars. It is the toral form in spiral continues that gives a structural rigidity to this work.

The rooms of Casa Nautilus are cavities that allow the entry of natural light.
