I’ve seen my fair share of perforated architecture, but I don’t think any of those designs featured on Trend Hunter are as naturally beautiful as that found on the Villa Saitan building.
Envisioned by EASTERN Design office, the Villa Saitan mimics the shapes of leaves, roots and bulbs. Although I wish the material of the building matched the design, Villa Saitan is an impressive creation. Check out the gallery above to see.
