The vista below peeks through the trees, and through the glass portico of a house perched at the edge of the valley. It draws you in.

Minimalist Mid-Century House With Plant-Covered Wall
This minimalist mid-century house was completed by Naturehumaine Architects in 2017.

By taking away the intermediary support element, this intervention removes the barriers to the outdoor terrace.
