FLYING CONCRETE
Tim Sullivan’s incredible house, planned by the American designer Steve Kornher.

There is a multicolour villa twenty kilometers away from the cosmopolitan San Miguel de Allende, one of Mexican tourists’ favourite places. It was built in the middle of a barren area studded with thorny mezquite trees and nopales cactus. The house, planned by an Idaho, unknown autodidact designer, is a mixture between Gaudì’s architecture and a Walt Disney park: it looks like the designer had never seen any angle or plane surface. Soft, twisted columns, waved roofs and oriental domes mix with mosaics, prehistoric animals and snakes: it is an oneiric and surprising whole. Even though it is nothing, but cement.
