Dacha’s Origami: An All-White Summer Home in Russia With No Windows and No Doors

<a href="http://www.kostelov.ru">Peter Kostelov</a> designed this all-white Dacha's Origami summer home, which makes the most of every drop of Russia's infrequent summertime sunshine. Kostelov had only one chance to consult with the client through the Dachniy Otvet television program before construction, and they only asked that he not build a basketball court. Running with this freedom, the designer created a sustainable timber structure with no doors or windows that takes advantage of solar-heated water.
