A beautifully designed and fully glazed curved house sits in the village of Malé Kyšice in the Czech Republic. The dwelling was designed by the local architectural studio Stempel & Tesar. The practice sought to maximize the breathtaking views of the Czech forest by inserting floor-to-ceiling windows on both floors of the home. This feature also allows for "the interiors to be passively heated by the sun for a large part of the year." Perhaps this is why the curved house is officially named 'House that Opens up to the Sun.' Stempel & Tesar confirmed their vision by stating that because of its construction "the building opens up to the sun's rays like a fan, soaking up its energy and seeking to use it economically."
