Cliffside Glass Abodes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Tula House is Situated in Beautiful British Columbia

— August 16, 2014 — Art & Design
The Tula House is by Patkau Architecture firm, and is situated in a beautiful section on the west coast of British Columbia, with views of the forest and ocean.

To make the house even more stunning, much of the sections overlooking the water consist of floor to ceiling glass windows, so it's easy to take in the views. Water has also been incorporated into the design, with pond-like areas in the courtyard of the house. Overall the abode is a signifier of luxury and peacefulness, with not a whole lot going on nearby.

For the owners, this is a great spot to relax and not worry about being bothered by a lot of people. The house is actually on a small island, which makes it even more difficult for most individuals to get to.
