Stunning concrete house hidden in the forest in Slovakia

Architectural studio Ksa Studený designed a concrete and glass house to frame magnificent views of a forest near the village of Pernek, Slovakia.


Dug into a sloping site, the 200-square-meter home is fronted with a full-height glass facade and topped by a roof that will gradually become covered in plants to conceal it from view.

The home is organized across two floors, with a living, kitchen and dining area on the ground floor alongside a workspace and main bedroom, while two children’s bedrooms sit above.
