The house is in a modern style, grown up on the slopes of the mountains. Thanks to its natural materials – stone and wood – it fits perfectly into the environment and becomes an integral part of it. An exciting game of reflections of mirror surfaces gives the house an extraordinary lightness, visually dissolving it in space.

This view of the house shows that it is beautifully framed by the surrounding tall pine trees that set a gorgeous background for the house that is mostly glass and wood. On the right side of the house you can see the entrance to a garage almost hidden by the black walls of the base.

This is a closer look at the section of the house that overlooks the zero-edge pool below. This section of the house has glass walls supported by wooden elements giving it a mirror look because of its glass tint. This section completely floats over the pool side area giving shade for the lawn chairs on the wooden deck.

This farther view shows that the lower level of the house is also lined with glass walls that also have a mirror effect paired with black details. This makes it look like the upper levels of the house is floating on air.

This is the view of the gorgeous house from the vantage of the forest. Here you can see that the unique wooden slats of the home exterior walls extend all the way to the roof for a simple yet charming aesthetic.

This closer view of the pool shows that it is bordered with a wall of glass on one side to pair with the aesthetic of the house. The wooden deck of the pool side also works to this effect. You can also see here that the pool area is in a sort of lower part of the hill making it seem like the forest is bigger than it actually is.

This view from the side makes you really appreciate the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the house. It fits perfectly with the surrounding tall forest of pines trees as well as the foggy climate that the wooden exteriors insulate the house from.

This angle gives us a better look at the beautiful zero-edge pool that exudes luxury and the mirror effect of the glass walls makes it seem bigger.

This is a view from the wooden flooring of the pool side that has comfortable lawn chairs facing the pool and the forest view beyond. Here you can also see a set of stone steps leading to the higher level of the house exterior.

This is the balcony of the upper level of the house fitted with a set of outdoor woven wicker furniture on a wooden flooring the same as the rest of the house. This area is bordered with wrought iron railings for safety.
