26 Feb The Blurring Lines Between Indoors and Outdoors
Modern architecture increasingly seeks to connect a building’s interior with its natural surroundings. This approach not only creates beautiful spaces but can also improve a person’s well-being. The Glass Resort is a prime example of this design philosophy, where the line between indoors and outdoors is partially erased. The glass-roofed lodges are designed to make guests feel as though they are sleeping directly under the stars, even while staying in a heated, comfortable space.
While the Glass Resort takes this concept to its most dramatic conclusion, this principle is present in many of our residential designs as well. The Pyramid House, for example, features a large glazed observatory that pulls the exterior environment into the home’s core. This connection to nature provides a sense of openness and allows the residents to experience the changing seasons and weather from a protected vantage point. This focus on connecting to the natural world is a key trend in modern architecture. It shows that by designing spaces that feel open and in harmony with their environment, we can create buildings that are not only beautiful but also contribute to a healthier and more relaxed way of living.
