Casa Brutale | By Opa Works

Casa Brutale is a spectacular project by OPA Works, an ambitious concept home that sits inside a cliff above the aegean sea. The minimalist home is composed by three concrete walls that form the main living space, the roof is a crystalline pool made of reinforced glass, that also functions as a massive skylight that floods the interior with natural light. The huge top-to-bottom front glass facade lets in plenty of light and offers dramatic views of the ocean below.

ARMSTRONG COTTAGE

Armstrong Cottage in Peterborough, Canada, is a striking off-grid, net-zero retreat designed by Peter Braithwaite Studio.
