residential building

the building consists of several interconnected rectangular volumes with flat roofs and wide overhangs, creating a sleek, horizontal composition. large floor-to-ceiling glass windows maximize natural light and provide panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, forest, and lake.
a combination of natural stone, warm timber slats, dark metal frames, and expansive glass surfaces gives the architecture a sophisticated yet inviting appearance. the vertical wooden screens add texture, privacy, and visual rhythm to the otherwise minimalist facade.
the house is integrated into the sloping terrain through a series of landscaped terraces, retaining walls, and broad outdoor staircases. an infinity-style swimming pool, spacious balconies, and outdoor lounge areas extend the living spaces into the surrounding landscape.
warm architectural lighting highlights the timber elements, pathways, and lush vegetation, creating a striking contrast with the dark façade and the natural environment, especially at dusk.
