Quetzalcoatl Nest: A Cross Between a House, a Snake and a Bird
The Quetzacoatl Nest was built and designed by Organica’s Javier Senosiain. It looks like those houses you draw as a kid but even if I’m an adult now, I wouldn’t mind living in that awesome space that looks like a snake. The house is named after the Aztec snake/bird god of learning and knowledge, was built around a 12.36-acre lot, and the architect made sure the house’s shape would prevent trees to be removed.
The house is currently occupied by some lucky guy who enjoys living in harmony with nature. The rooms are mostly above the ground but there are a few subterranean rooms and passageways. I might sound like a hippie, but this is my dream house, and I wish more architects were as imaginative and daring these days.
