While wandering around Göteborg I’ve stumbled upon this architectural gem The building definitely looks like it came straight from the drawing board of Mr. Buckminster Fuller himself. I have no idea if this architect was involved in designing it or just served as an influence for the look of this house. Neither do I know when was it built, although it looks like some futuristic vision conceived in the 1960s.

I’m filled with curiosity, but couldn’t do much about it as there was no one around this sphere house to answer my questions. I’ll definitely stop by again and maybe gather enough courage to ring the bell and see if anyone would answer … or are inhabitants already tired of unannounced visitors inquiring about their residence.

I’d definitely like to see what it looks like from inside. Is it functional, or are slanted walls and round shape an annoying constraint?
