5 Where do you live?qwsedfghlkjhgfdxEnglish Version .,m nbvcxz

Cyril Jean is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and clocks. He also collects round furniture. And now he has a completely round house for it all. The centre of the house is one very big bubble. This is both the living room and dining room there are round armchairs, a round table, and a big round rug in front of a round fireplace. Around the living room are three small bubbles. One bubble is a kitchen with round cupboards, another bubble is the garden room, and the third bubble is a music room for all Cyrils old records. Upstairs there are two more bubbles-a bedroom, and a bathroom. The doors and windows are also round, of course.

The windows are like eyes. There arent any curtains in the house, because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time.
Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect, Antti Lovag. Lovag thinks that a lot of modern houses are bad for us, especially tall blocks of flats. He thinks that people are happy in round homes because they are more natural. Cyril agrees this. Some people think my house s funny, he says But for me this is the perfect home.
