This gorgeous and very straightforward guest house has a simple layout that would be a delight for everyday living as well.

Completely encased in glass,and with a central core in the middle, the beautifully proportioned plan gives the kitchen the space it needs.

It’s hard to imagine feeling crowded in this great kitchen with its view out into the fields on three sides. The wooden paneling on the ceiling is wonderful.

Part of nature and yet apart from it, the serene guest house is gently floated just above ground.

Designed as a contemplative retreat for weekend visitors, it is set on open farm land.

Open views to nature create a stunning backdrop for the main living and sleeping areas.

The house references all the surrounding wood growing quietly around itself, yet is entirely encased in glass.

With two ‘couchette’ nooks with built-in bunk beds in the central core, the guest house can accommodate six.

Not merely gorgeous, the guest house is sustainably designed with geothermal heating and cooling, solar power for electricity and rainwater harvesting.
