Text description provided by the architects. The Shell Home project in Malibu challenges us to reconsider how we design and build architecture. This project illustrates how natural principles may be used to guide design, improve performance and give shape to the envelope of a building. This ‘Form Finding Functionality’ leverages air pressure to design and build an asymmetrical thin shell structure quickly and practically. The resulting building is a sculpture for living. Architecturally expressive and highly resilient, it provides structural and environmental efficiency as well as adaptability within a uniquely flowing organic form.
