that is "the Turtle House by the German architect and designer Kurt Völtzke (Egypt)"

When german artists left Germany for country as Egypt you never know what will happen to the remains of the squared german precision...that building look close to Gaudi style,for sure it is not inspirated to the Bauhaus

looking to that house you may be surprised that his architect looks so much as a normal architect

Well PhotoComix, if we saw a picture of you it would probably look like a normal artist and not a crazy surrealist uncle. :hehe

The house looks like him. His face has round features and his glasses look like the windows. :kpix
