Contemporary architecture means fluidity, transparency and a deep care for the details. Work of architect Alain Carle, the building below is a splendid masterpiece of this genre, being both elegant and stable. The dominant theme of this project relies on the architect’s aim to integrate smoothly the environment into the living space. Using natural materials with smooth finishings – such as wood, stone, metal – the interior mirrors the landscape outside. It seems that the boundaries were neglected and the contemporary architecture blends in the natural scenery. Last, but not least, dynamic volumes make the construction live on its own, creating various angles and ways of access. Rough cuts make the interiors look primitive, but you need only one moment of attention to realise that this aesthetic fulfils completely the statement of the project.

An astonishing view of the landscape that ‘devours’ the building.

Simple and elegant, the kitchen is almost invisible in this beautiful contemporary house.
