Timber Cabin Built into Cliff Side Site

Hungary-based Beres Architects Ltd. added some unusual architectural features to the prominent cliffs and forests of rural Koszeg, Hungary. This site was a rock quarry a few hundred years ago, leaving this rock face as a reminder of what it once was, and as its stand-out feature in the modern day. The architects created this wood cabin design that complements its surroundings, yet stands out on its own merits. The wood clad house features Larch in two opposing forms – rough sawn and black-stained on the exterior, smooth and refined for the minimalist interiors. This countryside home is certainly one to see. Check it out!

The home’s low-profile, single-storey stature shrinks against the grandeur of its natural surroundings. You can’t compete against Mother Nature, so you might as well give in to her. The architects used these picturesque private surroundings as inspiration for this indoor outdoor design.

At the center of the home, an open nook is tucked beneath the roof yet wall-less, is exposed to the fresh air and natural views – surely a favorite retreat for residents and visitors.
