Amalia House // Kirchbach // Styria // Austria // GRID Architects
Amalia- named after the grandmother of her owners- is a holiday cabin to host family members spread all over austria. Designed by GRID Architects.
Located on top of a hill in Styria, overlooking the valley of Kirchbach Amalia offers space for up to six people, without having to spare any comfort.
Organised in two levels, one of them split, she lets the landscape float in and gives view to her surrounding from everywhere within.
To give tribute to the nature around her and maximize the interchange between inside and outside, the house is completely covered with artificial grass -with only the windows left out.
Amalia is the first artificial grass camouflage building in Austria.
[...] Designed to blend into the landscape around it, this two-story Austrian vacation home by GRID Architects is completely clad in artificial turf. From the interior, there are expansive views of the surrounding hills and valley below, and from the outside, you may not even notice it’s there. The Amalia houses six people comfortably with creative space planning, and shelters a car below the cantilevered second story. With a camouflaged vacation home like this, your boss will never be able to find you and drag you back when vacation’s over. (Via archiCentral) [...]
