Dune House by Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Architects is located in Thorpeness, England on the coast. The design is a creative one – fashioned after the concept of a floating roof:

To get the effect, the ground floor is primarily composed of glass while the top consists of an imposing, thick black roof. Such a cool idea. I think they pull it off nicely.

  1. Can’t imagine a better setting for a glass house than the dunes. From far away the illusion must be really impressive! Love how many windows there are on the second floor, even with the first floor being glass.
