The Challenge

Foundations were required a for a modern steel-frame dwelling with a number of challenges:

  • Nearby trees
  • Accurate positioning and level requirements for the steel
  • Requirement for minimal elements to create the appearance of the structure floating above the ground

The steel frame and the rest of the structure was then assembled on top.

The finished house is a stunning architectural building living up to the “Invisible House” name and featuring in various publications and articles including the following:
