The Pyramid House is a concept design by Mexico-based architect Juan Carlos Ramos, a pyramid-shaped family home spread over three levels with a floating staircase. It was drawn for an architecture competition and, as far as we can verify, it has not been built.

Inside the pyramid
The layout is an open floor plan. Two bedrooms, a dining area and a living room fill the lower levels, and a small library sits in the apex. A balcony and a garage are folded into the shape without changing the outline of the pyramid.
The front facade is one extra-large window, which brings in daylight and a wide view of the surroundings, and it also gives the house its look.
“This is my last architectural visualization project, i design this house for an architectural competition.” – Juan stated.
Could it be built
A pyramid wastes the upper floor area, so the usable space shrinks quickly toward the top, which is why the library is small. That is the cost of the shape. Concept visuals like this one are cheap to draw and hard to build, but they show how far a family home can stray from the box.
