A Y-shaped layout, ultra-slim glass walls, and raw materials like exposed concrete and wood define Banánka House, a minimalist single-story retreat nestled at the edge of a lush Slovakian valley. Surrounded by mature trees and a flowing stream, the house offers seamless indoor-outdoor living, total privacy, and a meditative connection to nature.
