This compound of buildings, using the same stone for the exteriors as
for the surface of the ground on which they sit, creates an island on
the landscape which it seems to grow out of instead of sit atop. I love
the use of materials that way, as in some of the walled villages in
Italy that seem spread like a blanket on a hilltop. It is beautiful when
done in wood, too – the same material used for a large surrounding deck
turning into the exterior walls of the house and continuing inside as
floorboards.
This one is in Bijaca, Zapadna Hercegovina Canton in Bosnia, designed by DVA Arhitekta.
I do wish there were photos of the interiors as I'd like to see if the
stonework continues inside as it is on the exterior – and if so, is it
too much? – GF
