Invisible Barn

IV_01

I’m thinking a day-trip to Truckee may be in order, because I’m so curious to see this in person: Invisible Barn is a new mirror-finished structure at Sagehen Creek Field Station in Truckee, California, designed by Stpmj for UC Berkeley.

It reflects the trees, sky, and ground almost perfectly and is only a very narrow 72 square feet.

I suppose the only question is… will the birds be okay?

P.S. Another building with a serious wow-factor: an underground home that blends into the alps. Also, a trip to Tahoe that took us through Truckee.
