I also wanted to research Okiami Architecten studio's mirrored facade house. Belgian firm Studio Okiami Architecten built a mirrored cladding house called Beli House in Antwerp, Belgium. The project draws based on 1960s design.
Studio founding partner Bram Van Cauter states that their client bought one of those early architectural gems but when inspecting the original structure, the building was too far gone to renovate it to today's standards.
Beli House was designed one-floor building with floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor. On the ground floor, the concrete walls divide the interior with large windows but on the first floor's walls were covered full of concrete. The most attractive aspect of the house is mirrored cladding on the first floor. This feature provides privacy and shading.
Separating floors by horizontally covered wood panels is a good idea. Mirrored cladding helps to villa disappear into a forest.

Okay, add some text on how this links to your project - in terms of location, design, materials.
