(Pics) The Underground House With Spectacular Views

By Dan Gould on December 17, 2009

In Vals, Switzerland, SeARCH and Christian Müller Architects have created an amazing house tucked into the side of a mountain.

The site of the house is located close to close to the famous thermal baths of Vals, which presented a challenge to the architects in figuring out how not to disturb the view of the surrounding mountains.

This situation was resolved by building into the ground – and by cutting out a large patio into the hillside, a large facade was created which provides ample area to allow light in.
