Set on a gently elevated plot near the city of Fátima, Lameira House by architect João Pedro Pedrosa offers a carefully calibrated response to its rural surroundings. More than just a residence, the project exemplifies a refined balance between privacy, light, and landscape—an approach rooted in material honesty and contextual sensitivity.
Villa K is organised around a raised ‘viewing platform’ which is slightly pushed into the top of a hill. The design of the house is a response to both the plot and the amazing surrounding views.
The design team for The Meadow Home was inspired by prominent views and beautiful slopes to build a structure on to the landscape to minimize its massing on the originally undeveloped site.
The new Bridge Residence turned the challenge of a sloping site into an opportunity to evoke quiet seclusion while creating a grand statement.
The beauty of this project is the site itself, which overlooks the Portsea Lagoon and Wildlife Reserve. First Lessons House sits low amongst the existing myrtle and tea-trees, at the back corner of the site.
On a large property in northwestern Connecticut, Deborah Berke Partners designed this modern house to frame a long view to the south. The Sackett Hill house offers numerous other physical and visual connections to the meadow outside and mountains beyond.
On this beautiful plateau, high on a ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the intention was to respond with an elemental design that strengthens a connection to nature on a vast scale while navigating the natural topography and sculptural rock outcroppings with deft precision.
FIL house is a one and a half story single family home. The most characteristic aspect of the house is its roof, divided along its longer axis into two sections of different heights, creating a sense of two intersecting solids.
