Glass House Surrounded by Nature

London-based architects firm PCKO collaborated with Poland-based MOFO Architects to create this stunning glass house that's located smack dab in the middle of nature. The fully-glazed steel frame structure, suspended above site, preserves the existing natural environment and offers beautiful panoramic views of the distant Tatra Mountains.

Located on the outskirts of Krakow, Poland, the 1500 sq ft (140 sq m ) Jodlowa House features two main bedrooms, a covered swimming pool, and a 5-story viewing tower. Guest rooms can be found on the lower floors of the tower, while a study is located at the top.

Comment by Mostafa Osman on April 24, 2011 at 6:49pm: Well Done! I checked out the website on both firms and i have to say i'm thoroughly impressed in the deviation from their past projects. Both firms ironically exhibit an eastern european style in their residential portfolios, but in an effort that loosely reflects the iconic Philip Johnson Glass House, they were incredibly successful in their execution.
I wonder what the catalyst to this change was?
I was also surprised to find the climate Krakow, Poland relatively mild.

I wonder if they need to be close to nature or ensure they have nothing to hide or declare.Nice though by the way
