"The Shell House designed by Artechnic, something that you would expect to see on the shore of the ocean, is one of the most amazing architectural designs I’ve seen. Deep in the woods of Karuizawa...."

A half-dozen photos that come with the article show a residence filled with beautiful, sweeping lines.

The text says that the shape of the holiday retreat was inspired by the conch shell, but that wasn't my first impression. I'm sorry, but what's in the lead photo of this article still looks like two titanic, almost-empty, squashed toilet paper rolls.
