Modern Hobbit house?



Located in the Swiss village of Vals, sits an unusual, but truly amazing underground home, the result of a collaboration between the Netherlands architects at SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects

Without a doubt the most striking thing about this stone house with its unusual house plan is the majestic Alpine view through a wide, elliptical opening in the hillside, revealing spacious outdoor entertaining areas that lead to the home’s main entrance with a secondary entrance from a nearby barn leads residents and guests through an underground pathway. More than half of the circular opening in the mountainside is glazed which allows for natural sunlight to enter the house and light up its interiors.
