Bernardo Bader’s Dainty Timber Home in Austria Has a Green Lung on the Inside

<a href="http://www.bernardobader.com">Bernardo Bader</a> boldly went where no other designers have gone in the Vorarlberg region of Austria, where most homes are cubed, plain and lack privacy. Counteracting this boring sameness, he designed a charming home with ventilating louvers and moveable cutouts for a family living on a small plot outside of Sulz village. This <a href="http://inhabitat.com/giant-timber-tower-rises-out-of-the-czech-countryside/">dainty timber dwelling</a> is wrapped around a central courtyard that has a tree which can grow right through an open roof.
