Any building can take on new life when it is camouflaged to compliment
its environment. While some people prefer to live as hermits in the
wild or be reclusive on some remote island, there are those who take
it to the next level and camouflage their buildings to take refuge
from society.
Check Out These Amazing Buildings. Enjoy! :)
MIRRORCUBE TREEHOTEL, SWEDEN
You might have seen many treehouses, but none are as unique as
The Mirrorcube Treehotel in Sweden. The perfectly camouflaged
Treehotel features an aluminum frame that surrounds the tree trunk,
with walls that are covered by reflective glass, and a spectacular
view of nature.
INVISIBLE BARN, NYC
This Brooklyn-based camouflage design is a perfect optical illusion.
The mirrors of the Invisible Barn reflect the gorgeous surrounding
trees of Long Island City.
CAVE PALACE RANCH, UTAH
The Cave Palace is a hideout Fred Flintstone could have designed himself!
The enormous red rock cave is entirely solar-powered, and stretches over 110
spacious acres. It's situated atop the gorgeous canyons of San Juan County in Utah.
WOODPILE STUDIO, NETHERLANDS
Woodpile Studio is camouflaged to appear like a large pile of cabin logs,
but a closer look inside reveals an ideal hideout. Designer Piet Hein Eek
constructed a quiet little place where he would able to concentrate, without any
distractions. The cabin doubles as a perfect rehearsal lodge as well.
JUNIPER HOUSE, SWEDEN
The Juniper House is camouflaged to look like a surreal landscape painting
from the outside, but it's actually a residencial home. Juniper House was
the architectural creation of Hans Murman and Ulla Alberts. The Juniper
trees on the outside aren't real, they're part of a design that covers
all three sides of the house.
THE PINNACLE AT SYMPHONY PLACE, NASHVILLE
The Pinnacle tower is camouflaged to naturally blend into the clouds
and sky above. The Pinnacle skyscraper contains 29 stories and has
earned the coveted LEED Gold Certification for being solar-friendly.
The view of Nashville's skyline is an amazing sight to behold.
THE DESERT HOUSE, CA
This unique rock building was designed by Ken Kellogg from Organic Modern Estate.
The natural interior lighting saves the owner from any electric bill expenses.
The estate covers over 10 acres of desert land, with perfect roofing that shields
against the scorching desert sun.
ALONI HOUSE, GREECE
Aloni House is a quiet retreat located in the Greek Isle of Crete, not too far
from the fishing village of Georgioupolis. The view from the outside balcony is
simply breathtaking.
GREEN BOX, ITALY
Green Box is the design creation of the Italian design firm, Act_Romegialli,
and was constructed from an unused garage. The camouflaged garage sits atop the
picturesque mountains of the Italian Alps. Green Box is most suitable for
art lovers, and provides plenty of painting inspiration from its spectacular view
from all around it.
THE DUNE HOUSE, FLORIDA
The Dune House is located in Atlantic Beach, Florida, and is camouflaged by
design to be hard to notice from the outside. The Dune House was constructed
in 1975 by William Morgan, who had initially used the duplex as a vacation
rental spot. The interior features a retro-nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of
the 70's. Its just a few steps away from the gorgeous beach!
