House in the mountains

Annotation

In faraway Bhutan, a two-generation house with an atrium sits on a hill with incredible views all around. Not only is the house itself, with its atrium like a modern temple, unique, but also the journey to the top of the hill is a spiritual experience. The higher one climbs, the closer one finds oneself to the gods and dragons that reside in the high hills of the Himalayas. However, you don't like to disturb them, otherwise they will send a terrible storm. The house in the moiuntains has Bhutanese features, such as a typical Bhutanese roof and its overhang, typical use of building materials - clay and wood. The vertical axis of the building is also preserved, which is also supported by the vista, a view through the atrium to the other side with panoramic views.
