This Epic Green Roof Blurs the Boundaries Between Landscape and Home

Set in a secluded natural setting, this L-shaped home emerges from the landscape with transparent walls and a lush green roof.

From a distance, the grass-covered roof disappears into the native landscape.

Constructed in Warmia, a northeastern region of Poland known as the Land of the Thousand Lakes, this uniquely modern home draws on local character and natural wonders to discreetly blend in with its site. The wild landscape inspired architect Przemek Olczyk of Mobius Architekci to embed a transparent building into the topography. When inside, occupants feel as though they are outside totally engaged with the elements.

The horizontal concrete assembly appears to hover gently above the landscape, touching only on supporting columns. Floor-to-ceiling glass provides transparency from outside to inside.
A wooden screen provide protection to the home's entry while the garage door is discreetly hidden in the quartz sinter facade.

The residence is named Green Line after its unique architectural form, which extends from the hillside to the horizon. The home is topped with a green roof and nestled into the embankment. From a distance, it’s camouflaged into its surroundings and almost disappears from view.

A "green line" extends out above the home’s volume and runs along the fold of the gabled roof.
