Dream Home Fell From Heaven? It Hit Italy.

This heavenly white dream home is designed by monovolume architecture + design for Meran, Italy. It's one of those homes which will attract your attention and make you fall in love on first sight.


Primary goal was to blend the whole project nicely in the surrounding green hilly nature. While the house itself is white and makes strong contrast to green hills in the background, architects took this transition to minimum with large terrace and swimming pool along with small trees and other vegetation.
