Rock materials decorate every corners for decorating interior and facade, even excavated native stone was also added to aggregate concrete for flooring. Combination of classic and contemporary interior decorates the spaces without ignoring of utilization of native stone. Large glass windows let natural light come inside and become a fresh view looked from inside. Green roof full of grass gives the impression of natural garden grows on roof surrounded by the rocks.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Pierre by Olson Kundig Architects</span>:</h3><blockquote class="tr_bq">“The owner’s affection for a stone outcropping on her property  and the views from its peak inspired the design of this house. Conceived  as a bunker nestled into the rock, the Pierre, the French word for  stone, celebrates the materiality of the site. From certain angles, the  house – with its rough materials, encompassing stone, green roof and  surrounding foliage – almost disappears into nature.<br />To set the house deep into the site, portions of the rock  outcropping were excavated using a combination of machine work and  handwork. The contractor used large drills to set the outline of the  building, then used dynamite, hydraulic chippers, a selection of wire  saws and other hand tools, working with finer and finer implements as  construction progressed. Excavated rock was re-used as crushed aggregate  in the concrete flooring. Excavation marks were left exposed on all the  stonework, a reminder of the building process.<br />With the exception of a separate guest suite, the Pierre  functions on one main level, with an open plan kitchen, dining and  living space. A wood-clad storage box (made with siding reclaimed from a  Lionel Pries-designed house) transitions from outside to inside the  house. Its two large bookcases open to provide concealed access to  laundry and kitchen storage. A large pivoting steel and glass door opens  for access to an outdoor terrace. Set at a right angle to the main  spaces, a master suite features a custom designed bed with a leather  headboard and footboard set in the middle of floor-to-ceiling  bookshelves.<br />Throughout the house, the rock extrudes into the space,  contrasting with the luxurious textures of the furnishings. Interior and  exterior fireplace hearths are carved out of existing stone; leveled on  top, they are otherwise left raw. The master bathroom’s sink is  composed of water cascading through three polished pools in the existing  stone. Off the main space, a powder room is fully carved out of the  rock. A skytube is through to the top of the rock and topped by glass. A  mirror set within the tube serves as a focal point, reflecting natural  light into the space and connecting to a forged bronze sink.<br />Interiors by Olson Kundig Architects, in collaboration with the client.”</blockquote>Photographs by <a href="http://www.benschneiderphoto.com/" target="_blank">Benjamin Benschneider</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
