Architect office Hello Wood has sent us photos of a small modern house they completed tucked away in Hungary’s lush rural landscapes.
Situated next to a fishing pond, the home is a retreat for the owners and is dug into a mound, peeking out just enough to blend with the horizon.
The home has a green roof allowing it to blend into its surroundings.
Concrete stairs flanked by gardens on either side lead down to a terrace, while the home’s structure includes cross-laminated timber to give strength and soul to the structure, and the surface of the wooden facade is treated with the yakisugi method.
The house stretches out with a 135 square-meter terrace on the water’s edge, creating an opportunity to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets.
Linking the home’s two wings is a roofed and cozy summer kitchen with a furnace like a shark fin slicing through the air.
Inside, the living room and small kitchen share the wood-lined space with an angled ceiling.
The home includes a main bedroom and guest bedroom, both with views of the terrace and pond.
Dark walls line the bathroom, which also includes black accents, giving the space a dramatic appearance.
Watch the video below to see some behind-the-scenes footage of the build.
