When given the opportunity to design a house on top of a hill, Attila KIM, a local Romanian architecture studio, took advantage of the situation. 'House with a View' maximizes the natural beauty of the property, offering the residents a bountiful vista with sight lines in every direction.
'House with a View' is located in Brasov, Romania, a town with a rich history dating back to the medieval era. With such a spectacular view of the town, Attila KIM's home design gives the occupants a broader perspective on the slow progression of history over time, like looking down on the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis when flying overhead and realizing the insignificance of everyday stresses. Attila KIM's 'House with a View' is thus a nihilistic memento mori — but with excellent natural light.
