The outside of this residence by ARTechnic is surely not made to blend in with its surroundings. However, it does give a nod to nature with its curved lines and snail shell-like appearance.

I love this house. But I’m left wondering how it was made. I mean, obviously it’s concrete, but I’ve never seen another concrete form house come out so smooth and perfect… especially one that had curves.

The structure and strength of a nearly flattened tube got me thinking. Consider this. Use a single, longer, bigger diameter tube for the entire home to provide a higher ceiling, more glass on the ends, and more interior natural light. Then consider that the tube wall is built on site by filling temporary forms with pressurized foam. With the forms removed, spray the interior and exterior of the tube wall with multiple layers of thin concrete and then white stucco. The home would be cheaper, lighter, stronger, well insulated, weather resistance, and have a unique design. – Steve
