Known as the Wallace Neff Shell House aka Bubble House, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom Pasadena dwelling is the last surviving example of the architect’s Airform homes, which were conceived in the 1940s in a bid to combat the housing crisis.
To build a structure in as cost-effective a manner as possible, Neff—who was best known for designing homes for a host of A-listers came up with a “radical” new design technique that effectively drew on the basics of papier-mâché to create a dome-shaped dwelling.
The process involved the inflation of a giant balloon, which was then covered with steel mesh and sprayed concrete to create the basic structure, thereby avoiding the need for pricier materials, like wood and nails.
Neff branded the subsequent homes his “Airform designs,” later revealing that the idea for the unique building technique had come to him while he was standing at his sink shaving.

That’s great, thanks for sharing. Very stylish interior restoration. This would be great as an alternative to an apartment. Maybe too compact for a family.
