We all sometimes want to escape from problems, noiseand the bustle of the big city. Where? Of course, to nature. Somewhere quiet, calm and deserted. Here is a selection of houses designed to hide from the outside world. Arm yourself with a notebook and remember the coolest ideas for your future dream home. No matter how you look at it, life in a metropolis is full of advantages. Developed infrastructure, opportunities for study and work, civilization... We are so accustomed to the rhythm of the big city that the thought of living outside of it seems like something fantastic. But each of us has periods when we want to drop everything and just relax: soul and body. We present to your attention six houses in which you can hide from prying eyes. And remember: you don’t have to go to the wilderness to be alone with yourself. It is quite possible to create a personal “edge of the world” in your apartment.
Modern villa in Akureyri
This amazing home is located just 10minutes drive from the capital of Northern Iceland, but it seems that there is not a soul for many kilometers around. Perfect for a quiet holiday at any time of year: in winter you can admire the northern lights from your window, in summer - the cold but bright northern sun.
Cozy chalet in Breckenridge
At the ski resorts of France and Austriahave long gained unprecedented popularity, but this example is located on another continent and gives a unique feeling of privacy. Snow, mountains, the beauty of Colorado - and let the whole world wait. Wonderful, isn't it? If you have a country house (or are planning to buy one), pay attention to the main architectural elements of the chalet style: protruding roof canopies, wood trim inside and outside, massive beams on the ceiling and walls. All this is not only beautiful, but also practical in winter, when snow falls on country roofs in heavy layers.
Capsule ecohouse from Slovakia
This tiny mobile home is absolutelyautonomous: it runs on solar and wind energy, and gets its water from precipitation. You can stop and place the capsule anywhere: in the city, on the roof of a house, or in nature, away from people. We recommend that you take a closer look not only at the beautiful exterior design, but also at the interior: this mini-house is a brilliant example of using useful space in a small area. If you live in a tiny apartment, be sure to look at the photos of Japanese capsule hotels and this house, you will find many useful ideas in them.
Floating House in France
A translucent cabin house calledWalden Raft is hidden right in the heart of the lake and is reliably hidden from prying eyes by trees. It is unlikely that you will find a more suitable place to listen to yourself. In this project, the designers played with materials and textures in an interesting way: wood alternates with transparent inserts, which, in turn, harmonize with the water surrounding the house and add “air” to the space. Use transparent elements in your house or apartment to visually expand the space.
Casa Brutale with sea view
The stunning design comes from twoarchitects from Greece. They developed a concept for a truly secluded home: not only is it cut into a rock and is actually underground, but instead of a roof there is a swimming pool. The only neighbors are the sea and the mountains.
Cottage on the Faroe Islands
This cozy little house is located on one of theThe Faroe Islands, literally at the edge of the world. The place is simply perfect: cliffs, mountain meadows, waterfalls and the endless Atlantic Ocean. Take note of the beautiful combination of colors of the house and the surrounding landscape: white, green, gray and blue. If you don’t have your own country house yet, recreate a piece of nature right in your apartment with the help of a natural palette and plant ornaments. Get inspired by the Scandinavian style and panoramic photos.
