Architecture firm Bauen has completed a modern home in San Bernardino, Paraguay, that has a black exterior and is designed to maximize the views.

One way the house takes advantage of the view, is by having an accessible green roof filled with grasses.

The rooftop which is accessed by a ramp, has a path that leads to a seating area on a metal platform.

The rooftop patio is surrounded by grasses and is furnished with a pair of low day beds. From the rooftop, you can see the surrounding landscape and views of the water.

Let’s take a look around the rest of the home…
The house features black screens that wrap around the exterior, which can be folded or pivoted open to reveal the interior, while also providing security when closed.

The home opens up to a covered patio that wraps around the house, while an infinity-edge swimming pool wraps around the corner and meets a wood deck.

The interior of the home has an open floor plan, with a casual lounge area by the pool.

Also sharing the open floor plan is the dining room with a large wood table, the kitchen with an island, and a secondary seating area. From this view, you can see how glass walls enclose the living spaces, and when combined with the black screens, an exterior hallway is created.
