I would never leave this house (16 HQ photos)

September 23, 2011 | In: Architecture, Beautiful, Design, High-Res

My dream house was designed by Gabriel Orozco and built by architect Tatiana Bilbao in Roca Blanca, Mexico. The house was inspired by Jantar Mantar Astronomical Observatory, built in Delhi in 1724.

Photography is by Iwan Baan.

looks nice, but would like to see more of the inside

Go to ArchDaily.com

It's an Architecture blog – and this house was recently featured. You can find a lot of goodies about this place.

agreed, from what i did see of the inside it seemed cold not very warm and inviting

Damn, that's a good line to break the ice. Will try that in the bar later.

Awesome idea, but that pool and roof would be scorching hot on a nice day.

Lawndart

Any pool out in the sun would be… but I see a lot of deck space for a potential cabana or tiki bar that would solve that problem!
Joe

Pool's very deep for its width. Probably keeps a lot cooler than a typical pool. Agree that the deck would be very hot without shade, though.

haha

Besides all the cacti it looks awesome
CaptainStag

As awesome as it looks from the outside, I can't help but wonder how much space you're left with indoors. By the looks of it, not much :-/

plus from what i can see, the interior styling they went for is called 'concrete'

huh?

meh

So there are only four small rooms? I say who gives a shit about the inside when you have a deck/pool/view like that!

Dream house? No. Interesting? Yes. Not sure how comfortable I would be having a pool in the middle of my house based on the building practices and techniques in Mexico. Stucco and plaster can hide alot of stuff you don't want to see.

They went all out with that thatched roof…

and don't say its aesthetic it looks like shit they just threw down
Verbal_Kint

It took 20 minutes of painstaking labor to assemble…

If the pool's wall cracked it would flood the house.

When I run a mexican drug cartel that house may be my first purchase

They built a rally nice pool next to the beach. I myself have always wanted to live in a pool.

The yard/garden could use some improvements. Not a great run to the beach through the catus and rocks…But amazing home idea.

better hope the pool doesn't spring a leak!

#11 the furnishings alone must be worth a fortune

Verbal_Kint

I'm laughing my ass off at your comments.

Sweet irony

OhSomeEvil

The whole idea is passed on simplicity & it's so modern.
Who needs items, when those items end up owning you?

Def no such thing as a bad day if you're living here. It looks so peaceful.

#1 Definitely shopped. I've seen some good shops in my days…I can also tell by the pixels just above the clouds…
Mike Pots

I hope there is never a leak.

If this was on the beach at Normandy it would be called a bunker.

I can't understand those that want a pool right next to the ocean… Plenty of good swimming water right in front of you!

MonkeyMadness

At least there is nothing trying to eat you in your pool. That thing must be a bitch to keep clean though.

Not sure why youd want a pool right next to the ocean but this is pretty awesome

If you have a pool, you don't have to worry about all the little animals and plants that come in the ocean. But I guess if you want you can also swim in the ocean. Cheers!

think i saw a turd floating in the pool. collegepoison.com
