Mushroom Home: Art in Nature

As one of the most fascinating homes in the world, the Mushroom house not only demonstrates an architect's ingenuity in creating a beautiful and comfortable home but also in blending art with nature in its unique design. The result is a dream home made up of five interconnected pods, in a natural environment surrounded by trees.

Built in 1971 by James H. Johnson, the five pods sit on concrete and steel "stems". Two pods are used as bedrooms, the center pod holds the kitchen and sitting room, the fourth pod serves as a living and dining area with a fireplace, and the fifth pod is used as a deck.

As a local landmark in Perinton, New York, the Mushroom Home attracted the attention of several artists who contributed 9,000 ceramic tiles for the interior of the home.

This home may not be totally eco-friendly, but the concept of building a home that blends in with nature is indeed inspirational. It's possible to build a beautiful home without destroying the natural surrounding. We should have more homes like this!
