Chwihoga is a hotel in Pyeongchang-gun, South Korea, designed by 100A associates in 2021. Set in a mountain village and grounded in the idea of recovery through staying, the project draws its identity from the site itself, from local tiger lore to a sloping terrain shaped by rock, trees, and the intersecting folds of surrounding mountains.

Horno de Pan sits on the hillside of Cerro Auqui in Quito, Ecuador, where Taller General shapes a small house around topography, views, and phased growth.

Villa Nuri is a house in Cabo Velas District, Costa Rica, by Studio Saxe. Set on a hillside above the Pacific Ocean, it turns the slope into a vertical sequence of living areas, terraces, and views.
