Floating Country Houses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Mirrored Home Has Reflective Paneling to Camouflage It From Outsiders

— March 9, 2015 — Art & Design
This mirrored home only looks like it's floating in a forest. The first floor of the two story house is wrapped in paneling that reflects the surrounding woods. Designed by Polish architect studio Reform, the Izabelin House has a chameleon-esque quality that would make it ideal for reclusive folk looking to get away from the city.

The paneling of the ground floor is what gives the upstairs the appearance it's floating. The mirrored home is located outside of Warsaw, Poland. Intended to strike a balance between "an appreciation for getting back to nature with the desire for a comfortable dwelling," the camouflaged residence barely stands out among the green around it.

Even though the mirrors would be difficult to clean, it might be worth leaving dirty so people don't walk straight into the walls.
Trend Themes
1. Mirror Paneling Houses - There is an opportunity for architects to design homes with mirror paneling to blend in with their natural surroundings and promote sustainability in a unique way.
2. Eco-friendly Homes - The trend of eco-friendly living can be taken to the next level by constructing homes that appear to float in nature or blend in with natural surroundings.
3. Camouflaged Structures - The use of camouflaged structures can create a sense of privacy and seclusion for homeowners while also providing a unique and visually impressive architectural design.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The architecture industry can explore new designs and techniques of constructing homes that are eco-friendly and sustainable by using cutting-edge materials.
2. Real Estate - The real estate industry can capitalize on the growing trend of eco-friendly and energy-efficient homes designed with mirror paneling with spectacular views of natural landscapes.
3. Tourism - The tourism industry can market secluded, eco-friendly and camouflaged vacation rentals in magnificent locations for visitors seeking quiet and relaxing destinations.
