From the front, the house is a windowless fortress. From the back, it’s all glass. The three-bedroom home centers around an open-plan living room with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto hilly green countryside.

That same expansive room is home to the kitchen and dining area, which gives the space a loft-like feel. Despite the height of the house, the ground floor is the hub of activity. This includes a row of three bedrooms, with the master getting its own outdoor patio.

An angular staircase at the end of the living room leads up to a mezzanine, where there’s yet another chance to take full advantage of the extra-tall ceiling height and killer views.
