The timber house hints at traditional barns, blending beautifully with its pastoral surroundings. The wood, glass and steel home – the wood/glass volume enclosed in a timber frame – although boasting a rustic house style from the exterior, is modern luxury inside, through and through. The circular ground floor plan puts the owners’ daily essentials (the kitchen, living room, dining area, bedroom and bathroom) on a single open-concept level, while a terrace, gallery, porch, sauna and laboratory are housed on the upper and lower levels, respectively. Interiors are finished with rich wood and illuminated in natural light streaming in through the glass walls. A large, wind-sheltered terrace crowns the upper deck of this unusual home.

Designed by Lynx Architecture, this modern Munich architecture really invites the outdoors in, and you're sure to follow. The U-shaped floor plan encircles an amazing outdoor entertaining area – ideal, whether your idea of “entertaining” is lounging by the pool and soaking us some sun solo, or hosting the party of the season for the whole neighborhood. As you enter the open-concept home design, you’re welcomed by the kitchen, living and dining area, all blending into one another but each offering a distinct style and function. The kitchen has an industrial-chic edge, with concrete and crisp, straight lines setting the tone. Another contemporary feature, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls are really cool, offering eternal views of the lovely landscaped outdoors and pool area. That’s not to imply this house is “cold” – the warm, honey-colored wood, both inside and put, really warms us the look and feel. An amazing two-sided fireplace feature gets things downright hot in the kitchen and living room. Upstairs, the L-shaped floor plan overlooks the "view-only" rooftop garden of the house. Larch wood slats (fully functional and operated electronically!) offer privacy while softening the contemporary aesthetic. Visit German architects Lynx Architecture for more info.
