Bubble House for Sale

Inspired by Finnish architect Antti Lovag (see his own Palais Bulles - which I did a write up here) in the mid 70's, the Bubble House with its an indoor river, bubble kernel and cactus garden is for sale.

Lovag invented the bubble-house concept in the 1970s when he noted that primitive dwellings, such as caves and igloos, better reflected the way humans move (which is maybe correct but i lived in a "bubble" house once and it was a chore to find "bubble" furniture to fit there).

The Bubble House current owner, Daniel Bord, fell in love with Lovag's creations, took himself off to a week-long bubble-house-building course at Lovag's workshop near Nice, came back in Festes-et-Saint-André, in south-west France and started work.

There are some 20 bubble houses in France, the price of this one is set at €2,440,000 ($3,000,000).

If I had $3 million, I would buy this house immediately, move my family to the south of France, and set up shop.
