Mirror houses 73 photos

House of architect Marcin Tomaszewski near Warsaw. Ask, where is the house and what is this thing floating in the air? No, these are not Coperfield tricks, the whole focus is in reflective panels.

If you look from a different angle, the house looks quite ordinary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you go around the mirror house, some details disappear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In general, the view is amazing.

The idea of ​​using reflective surfaces to mask unsightly but necessary objects on city streets was decided to use the designer from Rotterdam, Roland Otten. Here is such a small booth literally dissolved in the street.

This is also his work, the project of electrical substation

 

 

 

This became the main feature of mirror architects, dissolving buildings in their surroundings.

This is one of the most amazing hotels. There is a terrace on the roof of each house so that you remain invisible even while walking. In addition, it is scary to go far from the mirror house, look for it later.
