La Casa de las Conchas “House of the shells”, covered in 550,000 shells, is it an abomination?
No, it’s wonderful that the world is full of unique craziness. Sometimes it throws up great usable ideas, sometimes it’s sweet and harmless bad taste. Either way it is no problem to the general practice of architecture or to the management of the built environment as it’s not commercially expedient so it’s never going to become a rampant problem.
It is beautiful and a great use of (presumably) local materials. Regionalism is nearly always kinder than anonymous, plceless International-style Modernism.
No.
It’s ugly, but it has its charm.
Well I think some of the accoutrements (decorative bits up top, big tiles at the bottom) leave a little to be desired, but it’s a wonderful little oddity. Might not be how I would do it, but definitely cool!

No, It’s unique
Looks more like a quirk than an abomination. The haphazard antennaes are an abomination.
Omg
Great place for a hermit.
The actual translation is “The House of the vaginas”
yes
It has a personality and a certain charm
There is a church (and other buildings on the grounds) in Germany covered in seashells and stones – The Church of St Nikolaus in Arenberg (near Koblenz). It was something my mom remembered from her visit 40 years ago and we were able to revisit last fall. Really special places to see and consider the amount of work that went into something so incredible.
The people that build it certainly didn’t think it was and I don’t think they care what anybody else thought of it
Those tiles on the wall however….
I would do some things a little different but it’s still 🔥
Looks good, where is it?
Imagine chewing gum instead shells and answer yourself lol
