I like the simplicity of this house. It’s just one gigantic 208-square-metre box made of wood. With some windows that frame nature perfectly. And a lap pool. In a perfect 22-acre site on a hill overlooking the Russian River Valley, California.
Designed by Dowling Studios, the house is also energy efficient, certified Plantinum level in the USGBC LEED for Homes program. [ArchDaily]
