Sloping terrains, hillsides, and mountains present challenges for architects and engineers alike, but they also offer the potential to create unique homes that embrace their context. Following a careful study of the topography, soil, drainage, and access to power and water systems, designing how to integrate the house with the landscape, establishing its aesthetic, and, above all, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment is the responsibility of the architects.
Below, we have selected fifteen residential projects that employ various strategies, which can be combined to form a design concept where the residence relates directly to the geography of its site. In addition to viewing their photographs and sections, by clicking on their titles, it is worth visiting each project to see how the interiors unfold along the slope of the land.
