Here are the stunning and cool unusual house design ideas – house on the flight of birds design by Bernardo Rodrigues. this house decorating with black and white color, elegant interior and modern furniture. the house is located on the north side of the island of St. Miguel, Azores. Since the microclimate of this land offers wind and frequent rain, the first design strategy was to block these winds with a wall and offer several courtyards and patios covered to protect against rain. These courtyards and gardens, also open to all natural green spaces, with walls of glass that fell outside. Upstairs, there are private rooms, which are more closed and protected. The typology follows almost classical and Palladian Scamozzi center design plan with high ceilings in living room and then two side wings enclosing a kitchen.
