Focusing on sculptural cliffs and friendly hillside woods, Hideg House, designed by Béres Architects, is an unusual object in the landscape of the outskirts of Kőszeg, a charming historical town in Hungary.
The site had been used as a quarry a few centuries ago, so the exposed rock face was one of the strongest elements of the environment.
In order to get enough direct sunlight all-year-long and to stay close to the sculptural cliffs, the building had been placed about 10 meters above the road that runs along the bottom of the valley.
