'-Permeated by the Energy of Hills, Strata and Rivers-

We performed the design for a residential building located in a hilly area.
We set out to integrate into our design the structure of the surrounding hilly landscape while echoing the natural power of its hills, strata, and rivers.

The construction follows a U-shaped layout centered around a courtyard.
The courtyard abstracts the structure of the surrounding landscape by putting forward elements giving it the dynamic appearance of its natural environment, such as a gently undulating circular bench, polygonal planters, circular lawn patches, and floors colored as bodies of water, thus creating a soft and enveloping space for its users.

Illuminated polygonal recesses dot the entire ceiling of the entrance hall revealing natural motifs, such as azure skies, sunlight filtering through green foliage and exposed sloping strata.

Resonating with the landscape of rolling hills, the residential building channels and gives form to the natural energy embedded in multiple layers of intertwined strata.
