Reza Mohtashami’s Black Villa is Instagram’s Latest Architectural Sensation

If you’re a huge fan of modern architecture with a futuristic feel, chances are you’ll already familiar with Reza Mohtashami. He earned a lot of attention with his contemporary designs and his latest building to become an Instagram sensation is the sleek black villa in New York.

Situated in the very heart of the Harriman State Park, this stunning residential home seamlessly blends into its surroundings and not only thanks to its black shade. Its foliage-covered living roof adds to its cozy atmosphere in the middle of one of New York’s largest state parks.

Blackened concrete, ceiling glass windows, and magnificent poolside views add to the magic of this unusual home, but its exterior is just as impressive. The name black villa is really fitting because this color dominates each corner of this cabin in the woods—both inside and out.

The walls and furnishings all come in black, but Mohtashami made sure to create a contrast with light wood paneling, present in each room of the villa. It also comes in handy that there are huge windows throughout the house, bathing each corner with natural sunlight all year round.
