Okay, so it's more of a red exterior, but hey, what an exterior, right? The Red House can be found in the western suburbs of Oslo, Norway and was designed by JVA architects. The site for the house is a former garden on the east bank of a heavily wooded river valley. The building is placed perpendicular to the stream, to heighten the dramatic potential of the setting and to avoid obstructing the view for the house beyond.
In the words of ArchDaily 'The house is organized on two floors. Living spaces are on the top floor, oriented towards south and the view, with a culmination in a covered terrace among the trees to the west.
The lower floor houses the children’s bedrooms, facing the river valley to the north beneath the trees.'
