On the outskirts of Xalapa, Veracruz in Mexico, a striking terracotta-colored dwelling sits among patches of trees. Standing before the distinctive structure, its exterior boasts fluctuating convex slopes that rise and fall from top to bottom as circular-shaped windows emphasize natural curves. From an aerial perspective, Rosalinda Ulloa\u2014the homeowner\u2014recalls that many have described the house’s shape as, “a mushroom, an octopus, a bat cave, a flower, and even pie-topping meringue.”<\/p>\n

Dubbed Casa de los Milagros<\/em>, or House of Miracles<\/em>, the architectural wonder’s construction process began in 1955 and took place in stages over the course of 47 years until its completion in 2002. In 2021, Mexico-based Kurdish photographer and architect Naser Nader Ibrahim<\/a> captured photographs of the unique creation. Designed by the late Danilo Veras Godoy, the project’s jumping-off point was simply asking Ulloa what her wildest dreams were.<\/p>\n

On the outside, these visions came to fruition in the form of tiled mosaic-covered slides and patios, large skylight windows, and sliding poles. On the inside, sun-soaked bedrooms incorporate steps that lead to cozy lofted beds with lulling windows for stargazing, bookshelves and reading nooks are tucked into alcoves nestled underneath sets of stairs, and a spacious, bright kitchen glows from stained-glass windows depicting a toucan and peacock. In a description of the project, Casa de los Milagros<\/em> is described as “a quilt, parts of it made from found and gifted materials.”<\/p>\n
