The most bizarre image above shows an end on view of the upper level of this amazingly decptive home and how it appears to just float in mid air above the forest floor.
The Izabelin House is a two story mirror house concept that is formed of two horizontally configured blocks and was designed so that the house looked as if it were vanishing into a forest situated just outskirts of Warsaw in Poland.
The house’s lower storey is clad with reflective paneling. These mirrored surfaces give the appearance of the house being an extension of the forest floor, with opaque areas stacked above. The house appears to be floating above the forest floor and creates a really uncanny look of almost disbelief, such that you need to practically double check what you are seeing.
Planted between the trees of the forest, this family retreat home for a single fmaily sits occupying its plot with minimal disturbance to the outside natural terrain
The above picture shows the frontal view of the mirror Izabelin house with the garage area, driveway and front path and front entrance. The upper level, because of the midline perimeter mirror edging looks as if it is just literally floating above the ground level.
From the above picture, you can see the mix of mirror glass panels against the brown wood finishes and the effect the mirror panels produce in this stunning view of the Izabelin mirror house from the side.
This picture shows the other end view of the Izabelin mirror house. Initial reaction here is that it makes it appear as if the upper level is sitting on a basement pedestal
This picture shows the rear terrace patio area with the large dark brown wooden under cover decking area. With the side mirror panels, it gives the appearance of something ‘space-like’ having landed in the middle of the forest.

The front side view of the Izabelin mirror house showing the mixed use of mirror panels and dark brown wood for stunning maximum effect against the stark contrasting white upper level.
The bottom level includes also a sheltered terrace in a shade of dark brown wood that matches the surrounding earth. The second floor appears to float above its mirrored base, a levitating box that will hover in the thick forest. Created by the Architect Marcin Tomaszewski from REFORM Architekt.
