Usually nature must adapt to the constant changes humankind defines, it sometimes even happens that new species appear or that plants are growing on quite unusual spots; but what if the human accommodations would adapt to nature?

The result could be the project “Invisible Barn” realized in the Tahoe National Forest in California. Three architects called 'stpmj' have created this incredible house: Seung Teak Lee, Mi Jung Lim and S. Toby Snyder. Together, they try to create installations and houses in harmony with the surrounding landscapes.

The barn is actually a house made of wood, but it's also entirely covered in mirrors, giving the illusion of invisibility. Thus, the camouflage house - which is quite flat, not really livable - is reflecting the beauty of the forest itself. Even if there is a pathway, it’s pretty hard to notice it, if it wouldn't be for the human reflections. The façade not only enables visitors to physically interact with the mirrors, but also provides visual contrast and engagement from a variety of different angles.

“ The visual illusion that blurs the perceptual boundary between the folly and the site, allows the folly to be disappeared and invisible in nature, reconstructing the landscape of the site.”
