If you happen to be walking around the hills near Mexico City, you might stumble upon this unusual sight: a remarkable peanut-shaped home designed by leading bioarchitect Javier Senosiain. The Mexican architect is well-known for his organic architecture – to date he has built houses inspired by the shape of a snake, a shark, a flower and a mushroom. “The straight line is pretty much absent from nature: everything from microorganisms to the macrocosm, from DNA strands to galaxies, shifts in spirals,” explains the 68-year-old.

After years of researching bioarchitecture, Senosiain set out to build his first project – a one-bedroom home set partially underground on a grassy hillside. The Casa Organica (The Organic House), as it is now known, is covered in grass, creating a luscious, vivid and very much alive rooftop which also protects against heat and cold, while the cave-like yet very refined interior is dizzying and unexpectedly warm.

Senosiain designed the unique home to seamlessly integrate with the natural landscape: “The green dune wraps itself around the inside spaces almost completely, rendering it almost invisible so that, from the outside, all one sees are grass, bushes, trees and flowers.”

The architect sought to create a space that completely embraces the human body, similar to a womb, an animal’s lair or an igloo.

Who doesn’t love avocados? They’re healthy, tasty, and it seems like they instantly improve any salad, toast, sandwich, sushi roll or burger they happen to be introduced to. NASA even went on record saying that if they could only equip their astronauts with just one type of produce, it would be avocados, thanks to their many beneficial properties! So, it’s no wonder that avocado consumption is on the rise, worldwide. One of the world’s major avocado suppliers is Mexico, which can lay claim to nearly %45 of all avocados grown worldwide.

But ever industry has its wasteful byproducts – and in the avocado industry’s case, it’s mostly – you guessed it! – avocado pits.

Enter Biofase, a Mexican company who have made it their mission to create bioplastic, biodegradable products made from avocado seeds.

These include cutlery and straws, which are completely reintegrated into the environment after 240 days, without leaving any toxic trace behind.

Biofase collect avocado seeds from companies that process avocados in order create guacamole or avocado oil, and use them as raw material for their products.

You can check out some of their goods below!
