As a solution this house partially buried the house into the mountain slope to take advantage of the soil’s thermal mass. The ground around the house will be adsorbs heat accumulated during the day and it gives off heat to the building during night. Look at the Floorplan 1 & Floorplan 2 for more detail about the house layout
The house is organized around a series of patios and roof openings that provide light, ventilation, and views to different areas of the house. The sloped roof acts as a new topography, which blurs the boundaries between the constructed area and the surrounding landscape.
