Paul de Ruiter Architects designed this new house on a hillside, in a rural area of Thuringia, Germany. The house is mostly glass, steel and concrete, and features a central swimming pool that thrusts forward, enjoying views of the surrounding valley.

There is a U-shaped deck that surrounds the house on three sides.

A swimming pool cuts through the center of the house, and protrudes out over the hillside.
