You both are completely and irrevocably mentally challenged. That house is amazing and took more work and creativity than you could possibly even fathom or imagine. And you’re being sarcastic, you’re doing a really crappy job of it.

A house with no corners sounds extremely expensive.

That house has too many corners. Mike said it all. I want a house with no corners of any description. Every plane must be rounded.

Not what I expected–or hoped for. I was searching for a house without corners–any corners at all. All intersecting planes should be radiused rather than cornered–whether coved at ceilings or floors, or curved into adjacent walls. Turrets, cupolas, towers and domes are all in-bounds as well. As for materials, steel-reinforced polystyrene foam concrete forms, vinyl-cased windows (again, without corners), curved-glass sliding windows and doors (as in the current work), and roofing materials incorporating photovoltaic cells are preferred. Flooring can include plastic laminates, engineered stone or wood, or ceramic treatments. Keep trying.
