France-based studio Aum Architects created the La Mira Ra House in the South of France, with a solid and raw concrete base that can be seen throughout the entire home. By using local stone and natural materials, the design team created a home on a small hillside that blends into the surrounding landscape. As this house has a green roof, it is an eco-friendly solution to heating and cooling the home.
The concrete shell from the base of the home was left exposed in multiple rooms, giving it a modern and loft-like feel. By adding floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the entire home, the La Mira Ra House offers spectacular views.
