The Modern Nature House

Something I have always been interested in is Eco-friendly housing. I read an article recently 'modern nature house' which I loved. Part of Australia's m3architecture group, this concept was created for a modern home design. Situated by surrounding dense vegetation and forest, it allows very little light to enter the area. The 'conceptual framework' evolved through 3 main spaces: a room in the garden, the main housing area and a connecting space. The design blends in with it's natural surroundings using mirrored effects through the ceiling and roofing, to allow as much light as possible to enter during the winter. One interesting feature that is included in the design, is the surfaces used in the garden room that multiplies the perception of the landscape, creating exposure but within a comfortable private living space.
