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
