The Nautilus House: Live In A Giant Designer Snail Shell

Live In A Giant Designer Snail Shell

The Nautilus House is a cartoon-like combination of bright vibrant colors and a gigantic shell-shaped design. It’s a real house, located in Mexico City and occupied by a young couple and their two small children. Not only does the Nautilus House 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 although 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 like 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. [via Luxist]





O2B: Oxygen Bar To-Go

Oxygen Bar To-Go

Needing some fresh air without going outside? Perhaps a pick-me-up without the caffeine? The O2B Oxygen Bar To-Go offers refreshing, concentrated oxygen that is portable to bring energy, rejuvenation and revitalization to others. Whether you are a bar owner, spa entrepreneur or just want to give your family and friends some relaxation, the O2B offers five nose-hoses (ouch?), twelve mouthpiece filters, and a 10-, 20-, and 30-minute timer. I’m wondering if workplace environments could use a little boost in productivity — breathe a little O2 and watch the energy change.
