Spectacular views and transparent, fluid interiors…this is how I would summarize House A, a building we found on www.archilovers.com. It is located in Habonim, on the southern side of Mount Carmel, North Israel and it was realized by architect Heidi Arad. The moment I first saw the pictures I said: “Look! He managed to bring the Mediterranean sea inside!” It’s true that the natural landscape has a lot to offer and the architect created a transparent skin with wide, large glass walls. Moreover, the house was designed with the principles of sustainable architecture: south shading, ventilation, open on both sides, collecting rainwater and using natural materials with minimal processing, such as using only galvanized metal without the addition of colors or coatings.
