Architecture, Italians do it better

Punibach, Hydroelectric Power Station

View all 14 Photos

Nestled in the the hills of Italy is this modern version hobbit house called Punibach. The creators at Monovolume Architecure and Design envisioned a hydroelectric plant so natural and discrete it is practically camouflaged by the peaceful surroundings. The many monstrous machinery that hide inside put off a delicate glow through the wood panels at nightfall. The result is a pretty spectacle that twinkles at everyone that drives by.
