🏡✨ Would you live in a house built from a giant Goodyear balloon?
A rare piece of architectural history just hit the market in Pasadena, California. Designed by famed architect Wallace Neff, this unique “Airform” dome home was created in 1947 using an inflatable Goodyear balloon as the mold before being covered in concrete. 🎈➡️🏠
Originally envisioned as an affordable housing solution during America’s post-war housing shortage, Neff’s bubble houses never became mainstream but they remain some of the most fascinating homes ever built.
🔹 Listed for $1.95 million
🔹 1,204 sq. ft. main dome residence
🔹 2 bedrooms with curved walls throughout
🔹 Detached 1,000 sq. ft. studio
🔹 Includes a 1960s underground bomb shelter
🔹 Located in Pasadena’s prestigious Madison Heights neighborhood
Perhaps the most intriguing detail: after designing lavish homes for Hollywood legends like Judy Garland and Mary Pickford, Neff chose to spend his final years living in this very dome proof of how strongly he believed in the concept.
A true blend of art, innovation, and history. Would you buy a one-of-a-kind “bubble house”? 🤔
