This shell shaped structure is called ''SHELL'', and a house designed by a Japanese architect, Kotaro Ide.
Despite its spaceship-like look, it actually fits well into the nature. With lively green trees growing around it, the view is quite impressive. Beautiful white walls and smoothly flowing curves do make the building look like a giant shell.

It does look beautiful but I wonder how practical it is. Does the proximity to the trees cause a problem? Maybe not now, but in the future?
