Float House

Float House is a spectacular residence in Israel designed by Pitsou Architecture. The aim of the project was to create a structure with a continuous, wide space, divided by internal courtyards and movable partitions, able to create smaller spaces used for a variety of different functions. The huge top-to-bottom glass facade can be completely open creating an expansive indoor/outdoor living space surrounded by a beautiful pool that gives guests the illusion that the house is floating.
