Have you ever seen a house made of shells?

Nowadays in this era of rapid development, many buildings have risen from the ground, looking particularly spectacular, but in Shandong, China, there is an old man who actually built a huge house by picking up shells, is it particularly incredible, today I will talk to you about this strange shell house, let's take a look!

This square house was built on Lingshan Island in Qingdao, Shandong, and everyone has a certain understanding of Qingdao. There is a very beautiful beach and turquoise water here, you can see all kinds of strange shells on the beach at will, and Lingshan Island is surrounded by the sea should be a small island, this island is also the poorest place in Qingdao, almost no one will come here, but I believe everyone did not expect that there would be a house built with shells here!

The person who built this shell building is a Shandong uncle named Xiao Yongsheng, who originally built it with such a dream, and prepared for 33 years when building this house, since it is a shell building, the most needed is the shell, if you buy it, it is very expensive, so this uncle walks on the cool beach every day to pick up the shells washed up by the sea. With 33 years of accumulation, the number has reached as many as 5 million.

It was this kind of behavior that made people know that shells still have such a purpose, and also made this uncle famous. The whole building not only has the appearance of Chinese architecture, but also incorporates the advantages of Western culture. In Chinese-style architecture, materials such as conch and abalone shells are mainly used, while in the West, pearls and shells are used more, which is particularly eye-catching from the outside.

Shells of similar shapes are used to decorate the walls, while some oddly shaped shells are used to decorate.

The whole building is Chinese style on the one hand, European and American style on the other, particularly good-looking, according to Uncle Xiao said that the process of building is to inlay shells in the cement, and build it up in turn. The most important thing is the typography, the gap between each shell and the shell is about the same, the most important point is the shape, if it is the same shell is not easy to see, but here you can see everywhere, conch shells are used to decorate the edge of the roof and wall. The overall look is particularly spectacular.

And this house has become a Guinness World Record and has also been named the world's first shell building.

Qingdao is a famous coastal city, and its beaches and waves attract countless tourists every year. But there is only one house like this in the country, and while marveling at this building, I also admire the perseverance of this old man in Shandong, who can persist for his dream for 33 years. What do you think of this unique home?

To be honest, I have never seen a house made of shells, and I think this style is unique and attractive. I probably thought about it for a while, and a house built with shells should be more literary! If I have the chance, I would like to see it in person and take a photo anyway.

No. Because I have never heard of building a house out of shells, it is very rare, so I have never seen such a house.

I haven't seen it, but I can imagine it must be beautiful, just like in a fairy tale.

Thin-shell (qiao) structure. All kinds of eggshells, shells, turtle shells, conch shells, and human skulls in the biological world are "thin shell structures" with uniform curvature and light texture. The surface of this "thin-shell structure" is very pressure-resistant, although it is thin.

The mechanical characteristics of imitating the internal force of their shells are diffused and distributed along the entire surface under the action of external forces, have long been widely used in construction projects. The Yoyogi Stadium in Tokyo, Japan, resembles a giant conch, with its sleek, light and moving appearance, and is considered one of the most successful sports buildings of our time.

Shell building in Zhuhai.

The Shell Building is the Zhuhai Grand Theatre, located on the seashore of Yeli Island, Lovers Road, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, and is the only opera house built on the island in China. The Zhuhai Grand Theatre is composed of two groups of "shells", one large and one small, which constitute the overall image of the opera house, so it is called "Sun and Moon Shell".

The two groups of "shells" in the Zhuhai Grand Theatre present a semi-transparent effect during the day, and are as crystal clear as moonlight at night.

The design scheme of the Zhuhai Grand Theatre not only comes from the unique marine species of "sun and moon shell", but also refines the image of "shell", and uses modern building materials and technology to further express the meaning of the space.
