The house straddles a natural arroyo, with a board-formed concrete base responding to the cooler, sheltered conditions below. Living spaces are elevated above it, where expansive gridded windows open the interiors to long views across the landscape. </p>\n<p>The defining feature sits at the very top of the house. A timber-lined music room is crowned by a retractable roof, manually operated using one of Kundig’s signature oversized hand wheels. When opened, the entire ceiling pulls away to reveal the sky above, transforming the intimate lounge into an open-air observatory for watching clouds drift past during the day or stars emerge after dark.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://theinspirationgrid.com/category/architecture/\">More architecture</a> <a href=\"https://www.dezeen.com/2026/08/07/olson-kundig-sky-view/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"
