⛰️When architecture disappears into the Alps. Designed by SeARCH - Architects Amsterdam, Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller Architects, the villa is embedded directly into the hillside of the alpine village of Vals, nearly disappearing into its surroundings. Instead of occupying the landscape, the project cuts into it, using the mountain itself as shelter, insulation, and architecture. Its most recognizable feature is the circular façade opening, framing panoramic views of the Swiss Alps while bringing daylight deep into the underground interior. Connected through a hidden tunnel to a nearby barn, the home preserves the visual character of the village while creating a private retreat beneath it. Built in close dialogue with the terrain, Villa Vals feels less like a house placed on nature and more like a space discovered within it. 💬 Would you live in a home hidden inside a mountain? 📸 Iwan Baan Villa Vals, #parametricarchitecture #villadesign #swissarchitecture #landscapearchitecture #undergroundarchitecture
