House Inside a Rock: luxury living in a rock

Shanghai architect Amey Kandalgaonkar is the inspiration for the house he named House Inside a Rock, found at a Saudi Arabian tomb Mada'in Saleh – an archaeological site from the period of the Nabatean Kingdom (1st century) is famous for being in its entirety carved into sandstone.

Kandalgaonkar designed a more modern version of the unique home - the abode would not be literally carved into the rock, but would be constructed using concrete slabs, which represent framework of the living space. The architect points out that when building such a house, he should use simple forms of the building's components, which he would achieve visual balance.

Otherwise, it is with the help of software for 3D planning first formed the rock, and then into it added a house. On Instagram has already called on billions to join forces to build a building that, for now, is only a concept. Do you have enough money to support Amey's project?

House inside a rock The context of this project is inspired from #madaisaleh rock cut architecture in Saudi Arabia. Creating the rock in 3d was super fun and turned out better than I expected...Experience of living in such a house would be quite surreal. Any billionaires out there interested in building this? 🙂 #modernistarchitecture #modernhouse #brutgroup #rockhouse #deserthouse #cliffhouse #desertarchitecture #brutalist #brutalism #brutalistarchitecture #concreate #concrete #concretedesign #concreteart #concretearchitecture #concretehouse #octanerender #3d #gfx #cgi #thebartlett #digitalarchitecture #dezeen #archdaily #designboom
