Dreaming of a house by the sea? So, you should know this building Rud Thygesen. Outside is beautiful, white with black details and invite you to visit a warm environment where they make most of the surrounding landscape. Do not believe me? See the sights photo number three.

In the distant valley, California, surrounded on all sides by hills, with hot summers, cold winters and south-westerly winds in the morning hours, increased the residence of Santa Ynez Residence. Space of the house includes an open living area, master bedroom area, two guest, office, art studio, pool and large courtyard, which is protected from the hot sun and under constant winds blowing, there is peace and quiet. Architects were intended to merge with the exterior plains and grasses, shrubs and trees. They decided to abandon the static impermeability of the walls. To do this, create a shell made of corrugated steel sheets color of oxidized metal, which, on a plan, must be combined with the earth plain. Steel coating not only brings the whole house into a coherent whole, making it a part of the natural environment, but also obscures from the scorching sun. Large shutters, doors closed at night and during the departure of the owners make the building inaccessible. In creating the image of the residence architects repel the shape of a cube, and now he is part of the landscape, rooted in the plain.

The site is located near Moscow, on a steep slope of a small hill. The landscape was transformed into a minimum, the building is actually built into the hill. The upper level is designed as a white cube – here posted a spacious living room with fireplace, an office and a huge terrace-roofing. The lower level is given over to a private area, it is almost entirely underground. Only one wall is a large stained-glass window overlooking the river and meadows.
