Despite being almost completely embedded in the side of a hill, this modern home in Switzerland has a seriously stunning view. The house is very hard to spot, which makes for a perfect gateway.
This Underground Home is a collaboration between the Netherlands architects at Search and Christian Muller Architects.
The most striking thing about this stone house is the majestic Alpine view through a wide, elliptical opening in the hillside, revealing spacious outdoor entertaining areas that lead to the home’s main entrance. Another entrance from a nearby barn leads residents and guests through an underground pathway, providing an alternate entryway into the home. The circular opening in the mountainside allows for lots of windows, which flood interiors with natural light while framing the stunning mountain views
All in all, the design was so unique that the builders were able to skirt around the notoriously strict building requirements in the area.
