Honours Project: Villa Vals

I thought I would start my blog by sharing some of the Architectural and Interior designs that have given me great inspiration for my upcoming projects at University.

This is Villa Vals, Switzerland, designed by Mastenbroek and Christian Muller. It is a home built within a hillside, the main access to the house is through a neighbouring wooden barn, of which you have to then travel through an underground tunnel that runs through the mountainside.

I love how the designers have created the slanted inverted dome exterior that fits perfectly with the hillside, this design makes the most of the amazing mountain views surrounding the house.

Although I find the exterior amazing I don't particularly like the interior. I think the décor is good, especially the built in bunk beds and slate staircase but most of the walls are just stone which to me makes the interior feel cold and depressing.
