Portugal’s Boulder House.

Some people blast through rock to build their house or clear-cut entire forests to make space for their McMansion. Others work with the natural elements that are already in place.

One builder in the Nas montanhas de Fafe in Portugal decided to make his house fit with the existing elements on the property by incorporating enormous boulders into the design.

Portugal’s Boulder House.

Aside from the boulders, the façade of the house includes rock walls and the interior of the house also incorporates natural local elements like rough cut wooden furniture, stairs and railings.

Could this be any more Photo 'shopped'. Come on! You can clearly see, even at this size and resolution the artifacts around the boulder and roof edges. The entire scale and color palette of the top image is ridiculous. At least you (Greenmuze) had the decency to tone down the contrast on the bottom image..... I can only put this down to a slow week in 'Build' room!

Check out the other images of this Boulder House on the net as they are no different. Not sure what Oh Dear is on about.
