This amazing house is the brain child of architects Christian Muller and Bjarne Mastenbroek. A great example of modern architecture set into the Swiss hillside

The idea for this house came about in 2004, the house was finished in 2009. It was worth the wait. The house, while essentially a hole in the hillside, is flooded with natural light, has incredible views and is actually quite luxurious… not exactly what you would expect from a “hole house”. Did I mention the 22m (that’s about 70ft) underground tunnel that links the house to a nearby barn? (alternative entrance)

The architects are based in Amsterdam (although Muller is Swiss) and the hole house is a holiday home.

The interior space is just as experimental and modern as the rest of the design, and of course, features a lot of Dutch designed furniture. “This house is not about perfection. It’s an experimental space” says Muller… but I think that they hit the nail on the head with this project.
