Hello Wood designs grass-topped CLT House as "part of the landscape"

Architecture studio Hello Wood has completed a sunken house near Budapest, Hungary, which is crowned by a green roof and features an outdoor living area overlooking a pond.

Named CLT House in reference to its structure that is built partly from cross-laminated timber (CLT), the home is designed by Hello Wood to "blend seamlessly" with its surroundings.

To achieve this it is partially dug into its sloping site and topped by a green roof, while its living spaces extend out onto a 135-square-metre terrace facing towards the pond.
