In 1958, James and Anne Hubbell stood on a patch of untamed land in the Cuyamaca Mountains and saw something others couldn’t—a home shaped by nature, not by convention. With their own hands ⛏️🛠️, they carved shelter from the hillside, using boulders as walls and timber milled on-site. No straight lines, no rigid angles—just the flowing curves of seashells 🐚 and the organic embrace of the land. The children of James and Anne Hubbell may be the only people who can claim to have grown up in a seashell-like dwelling ;-) We hope you enjoy this inspiring repost.
