Villa Metamorphosis, by architect Ben Ryuki Miyagi

The two-bedroomed house sits on an elegant one-acre plot in Ulster County, upstate New York, with rolling lawns backed by woodland

The existing front windows were replaced with frameless glass openings

The front of the building is rendered in black stucco

In front of the house is a concrete deck with a void called the Sky Mirror - rain collects in it, reflecting the heavens

The domes are clad in hand-cut asphalt shingles that are reminiscent of fish scales, held on by stripes of white battening
