This house has got so much going for it that I love; the steeply pitched roof and overhanging eaves, the black cladding, large round and rectangular windows and the visible criss-crossing timber braces that support the building. The house is located in northern Switzerland and was designed by local architect Pascal Flammer. Sitting between a wheat field and a thicket of woodland, the place has a definite physical connection with the world outside of its continuous windows. Once the building is softened with some well-loved furniture, rugs and the messiness of everyday life, I think it will look beautiful. Talking of everyday life, we've been making a few changes around here lately. Obviously nothing on the scale of this house - in fact it's quite ridiculous of me to even write of them in the same space. Still, I may post a few pictures soon, if I ever get around to taking any...
