"Built on a steeply sloped lot, House 258 arises from the principle of designing appropriately for the place, occupying the land and landscape with subtlety and respect while preserving the existing grove on the property."
"The result is an architecture that, on one side, opens up to the sunset and the surrounding valley, with its facade marked by the golden tones of concrete under the evening light, and on the other, immerses itself in the shaded and silent forest, illuminated by the filtered light of the treetops."
House 258 is sited on a steeply sloped lot and designed to respond sensitively to its topography. The building occupies the land and landscape with subtlety and respect while preserving the existing grove on the property. One side of the house opens to the sunset and the surrounding valley, featuring a facade whose concrete takes on golden tones under evening light. The opposite side immerses the interior in a shaded, silent forest, where filtered treetop light illuminates the spaces. The project prioritizes a dual relationship to view and forest and a material expression that reads warmly in changing light.
