Hyde Architects presents 'House for a Photographer,' a house ideal for taking photographs of the surrounding scenery.
The house is located on an isolated quarry on the edge of the Brecon National Park in Wales. The architects had a small budget to work with and constructing the house in a quarry was challenging as well. Despite the presented challenges, the architects designed a spectacular building suspended within the basin.
The position of the house is ideal for perfect lighting and for focusing on the distant scenic views. The house acts as a camera obscura and allows fantastic photographs to be taken from within.
The practical implications of this house are great for photography; even if we ignored the practicalities, the house's design is still wonderful.
