This is an Architectural Digest tour of Casa Organica, the home built by architect Javier Senosiain of Aquitectura Organica for himself in 1984. And what a home it is! Calling it a hobbit house doesn’t really do it justice because it’s so much more, I was just trying to be concise in the title.

This harmony is demonstrated in how the home’s mesmerizing structure curves through the environment like a cave or a burrow, allowing the earth to grow over and around it. A true feat in organic architecture, join Senosiain as he takes you through how he came to design such a unique space.

Would I live in something similar? I’d love to, I just don’t have the funds to build a flowing Hobbit house overlooking a major metropolitan city right now. Knowing my luck, I’ll probably die in this shoebox apartment just like the two tenants before me.
