1. Woodpile Studio - The Netherlands

2. As conceived by musician Hans Lieberg and designer Piet Hein Eck, the rough facade of this house, which is a pile of stacked logs, should fit perfectly into the rural woodland.

3. If you open the windows, then the whole house in which the musician works is filled with daylight.

4. Invisible Barn - New York

Brooklyn-based construction company STPMJ designed this house to be entirely covered with reflective tape.

5. The film reflects the trees and the nearby park so well that the house is simply not noticed.

6. Juniper House (Juniper House) - Sweden

7. Designed by Swedish architects Hans Murman and Ull Alberts, the juniper house can hardly be seen from afar. Mirrors were not used during its construction, instead the outer walls of the house are decorated with photographs of juniper.

8. Cadyville Sauna - Upstate New York

9. This forest oasis was designed by architect Dan Heazel in upstate New York.

10. It is built on a rock that serves as one of the interior walls, and is almost completely covered with mirrors, making it merge with the environment.

11. Mirrorcube - Sweden

This glass cube, which is actually a house, can only be reached by walking along a 12-meter wooden bridge. The house was built by Tham & Videgård right in the middle of a virgin forest.

12. The house is a short distance from the ground, and each of its outer walls is covered with mirrors, thanks to which it is almost impossible to notice. Don't worry, the house is also covered with a special film that makes it visible to birds.

13. Pinnacle - Nashville

Pinnacle houses 29 companies that have placed offices and retail spaces in a transparent skyscraper. This skyscraper has been certified for energy efficiency and has a green rooftop terrace.

14. Utility substations - the Netherlands

15. In every city there are buildings that are very necessary and not very pleasant to look at. Rotterdam designer Roland Otter came up with the idea of disguising electrical substations and air quality monitoring systems by covering them with mirrors.

16. Rachel Raymond House - Massachusetts

It was originally designed by pioneering architect Eleanor Raymond for her sister in 1931. Unfortunately, the house was demolished in 2006, but not forgotten.

17. Later on this site was built by an architect named Pedro Joel Costa this new invisible house, consisting entirely of mirrored panels.

18. Green Box - Italy

Many garage owners dream of turning them into something more, but few can do it the way Act_Romegialli did in the Italian Alps.

26. The Desert House - California

27. As conceived by architect Ken Kellogg, this building, located in the Joshua Tree National Park, resembles an armadillo shell from the outside. Such an unusual roof protects the house from strong winds and heat.

28. Constructed of concrete, glass, copper and steel, the house looks like something organic has grown among the rocks and sand.

29. Glass farm - Netherlands

30. It is unlikely that anyone will like it when a brand new building appears in the historical part of the city. To avoid this, the Dutch architects from MVRDV disguised this shop and office complex as an old farmhouse with walls and a roof that are actually made of glass.

31.

32 Lookout - Scotland

33. This small three-person viewing booth was built by University of Strathclyde design students Angus Ritchie and Daniel Tyler. This building does not spoil the fantastic landscape of the Scottish fields and at the same time allows you to enjoy nature and take breathtaking pictures while inside.
