Hidden building
You probably have heard stories about the "military camouflage," which helped to hide from the enemy anything - from ships to entire cities. However, there are "peaceful" forms of camouflage, for the most part of the architectural. Often to hide buildings from prying eyes, their "hidden" in the ground in the middle of the plains, or cover them with mirrors. We suggest you familiarize yourself with a few such projects.
House "Aloni"
This house is located on the Greek island of Antiparos. For thousands of years the locals have built houses, the walls of which served as rammed earth. The project is a modern house that you see in these pictures, designed by the architectural firm decaArchitecture and it is based on the same old idea: the house is placed between two natural hills, which allows him to "merge" with the surrounding landscape.
Sauna Kadivilla
Architect Dan Hisel built this tiny sauna on the riverbank Saranac, not far from New York. The building itself is made of wood, but is almost entirely covered with mirrors. Because of this house is almost invisible, unless, of course, not only the light from his window.
House on Phillip Island
This home built in 1988 on the coast near Melbourne and discover it from the ground is almost impossible. It can be seen only from the air. The authorship of this elegant project belongs to the Australian architect Denton Marshall.
"Mirror anchor"
This extravagant building - the only public toilet, which is located in the Spanish city of San Sebastian. Due to the mirror panels, it simply reflects the neighborhood, as "dissolved" in the surrounding area. Author of the project - Robert d'Affor.
House "Three snakes"
Portuguese architect Luis de Andrade has built his career by developing the design of buildings that are "merged" with the natural landscape. This project is called "Three snakes".
"Hide" the house from the architectural firm Teatum + Teatum
During the day, the facade of this British house seems monolithic - it is covered with silicon carbide particles (material that is used to protect nuclear missiles and electronics). A night in the steel doors appear pattern imitating raindrops - and the house turns into a big lantern.
