Kansas City-based Hufft Projects has completed the Postcard House.

Completed in 2011, this 5,700 square foot, contemporary home is built mainly from aluminum and Western Red Cedar.

It is located in Kimberling City, Missouri and provides beautiful scenic views of the surrounding landscapes.

The Postcard House by Hufft Projects:

“This lakeside retreat is anything but ordinary. Taking design inspiration from a vintage Polaroid Camera, the form of the building is intended to frame the scenic setting from every angle – creating ‘postcards’ from within. It is all about the views and the experience. The main materials for the home are aluminum and Western Red Cedar. It is also built in a low impact manner by placing the home on columns and minimizing impervious pavement. The entire house utilizes natural daylight and natural ventilation. Recycled and Low VOC materials were used throughout.”
