Architect Javier Senosiain designed El Nido de Quetzalcóatl - or Quetzalcóatl's Nest - in Naucalpan, Mexico.
There are 10 apartments inside the 16,500-square-foot building, which is shaped like a serpent.
Its design resembles the feathered serpent Quetzalcóatl with hallways that mimic a snake's belly, a botanical garden, and a mineral cave.
