Unusually Minimalist Villa Four Cornered For An Ascetic Lifestyle

Located in Virrat, Finland, the Four-Cornered Villa faces north and east, gathering views of tall, slim surrounding trees through each glazed wall. This constructs a sequence of spaces splendidly oriented towards framed views, making it appear like a dramatic play of dark and white, light and shadow.

With a flat roof hinting towards a one of  modern architecture’s main features, the dark house is completely hidden from view when seen from the nearby Vaskivesi Lake.
