This home is made with four oval pods positioned side by side at odd angles, offering a variety of views. Endless Aspen trees embrace the perimeter of the home, making it more serene and zen-like for visitors. The interior is immaculate and looks space-like with its opulent vanity and voluptuous curves. The emphasis on curves is accentuated with the home's structural design of oval pods. Each room is different from the other, and the openings to these spaces are created with an overlap of walls. The Cloud House by Axis Mundi has 2,220 square feet of interior space with an additional deck space of 600 square feet.
