Homes for the brave…
Maybe this isn’t your idea of a house, but Mexican architect Javier Senosiaian’s “Arquetura organica” — which seeks to build Mexican homes for the Mexican environment — is worth a look.
This is his 1992 “Mexican Whale”… of which Senosiaian says:
The core of the architonic concept of this house is the result of a search for man’s natural space and his historic and cultural roots along with the constructional traditions of Mexican art.
Whatever. It sure would stand out in your subdivision… unless your subdivision was the one Senosiaian designed in Lerma…
Traditional homebuilders in Mexican homes have been slow to change their thinking. As in the United States and the wealthy countries, more and more adults live on their own — either single, or as couples independent of their multi-generational family homes. Some of these “new” Mexicans want to live in suburbia, just like in the rich countries. To meet their needs, the 1990 Lerma complex included what are basically stand-alone efficiency apartments. They look… well… NUTS…
Peanuts, to be exact —

Oh wow, because I’ve always wanted to live in an object that looks like it dropped out of a Dali painting.
In Baja there was a man who designed a house out of a giant sculpture of a topless woman. He had a room behind her boob.
To each his own.
Yeah, that house is in Tijuana. There is another one near Tijuana, maybe in Rosarita. Both built by the same person. See these links:
