AN NUSUAL HOME
In Sofia, Bulgaria, there is a very unusual family home. It is
five floors high and it's in the shape of a snaill! Its mouth is
a door and its eyes are windows. Its body and big round
shell are multi-coloured. The shell is full of little windows,
so light can get inside, and on top of it, there's a little
ladybird and a butterfly.
2
It is a very popular attraction for visitors to Sofia, but it is
also the home of one of the world's top architects. There
are no comers or straight lines in the building. There are
no bricks or concrete blocks. Every building material in
the house is light and friendly to the environment

The snail house has rooms just like a normal house. There
is a living room, bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. It
has also got two garages. It has got old-fashioned
furniture and funny heaters to keep the house warm in
winter. The heaters are in the
shape of a frog, a ladybird
and a pumpkin. It is an
unusual home and a lot
of fun to live in
