Berkshire Style Covers
The Round House Project

Architect Okan Oncel tells Berkshire Style, “The idea for The Round House began in collaboration with the client. It is on a beautiful portion of land that suggested taking full advantage of its surroundings. We had the idea of openness, of an accommodation with nature. That conversation led to a round form and a lot of glass. With the addition of a Green Wall we pull the outside nature inside the house.”
