The Luxury Villa embedded into a Mountain

Last week we took a look at the Flinstone’s house up for sale in California, and this week, I’ve stumbled upon another amazing cave house, this time, it’s embedded in the Swiss Alps and more suited to James Bond than Fred Flinstone… The only reason Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller, from the architecture firms SeARCH and…

Greetings from Africa’s Premier Ski Resort
