Slot House is a house in Los Angeles, United States, designed by ANX / Aaron Neubert Architects for a steep hillside site. The project recesses its garage into the slope and places two levels of living above, using a bridge, retaining walls, and a continuous skylight to tie the house to the terrain. Long sightlines, framed views, and a private rear terrace guide the experience from street to hillside.
Scho’s House sits on the edge of Theux, Belgium, where a residential street meets open farmland and the valley beyond.

The result is a measured rural dwelling that balances long valley views with a quiet presence at the boundary of town and field.
House with a View in Hinterbrühl steps down the hillside above Hinterbrühl, Austria, giving a clear vantage over forest and valley.

Across its U-shaped layout, concrete, stone, and glass work with light and breeze to keep the atmosphere open yet warm.
Maison SE sits in the hills above Aix-en-Provence, France, where Isabelle Berthet Bondet arranges a 350 m² house as an extension of the surrounding pines.

The result is a relaxed contemporary residence that treats the Mediterranean landscape as its primary interior surface.
