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. Designed in 2026, the project begins as a compact dwelling and expands through a repeatable brick envelope, using load-bearing walls and a lowered vault to handle structure, roof, and enclosure in one construction system.
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. Concrete, steel, wood, and planted edges work together to keep the home open to air and light while staying firmly tied to the terrain.
Villa Ousia is a house in Pitsidia, Greece, by Paly Architects. Set on a hillside above the settlement, it reads as a sequence of three offset volumes connected by glass passages. Local stone, earth-toned plaster, and regional materials shape the project’s calm, practical character, while the plan opens toward the pool, the plain, and the sea.
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. Crahayjamaigne shapes a compact three-level house that treads lightly on the steep terrain, pressing stone volumes into the hillside and setting timber-clad living areas above them. 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. Caramel Architekten shapes the house as a stacked sequence of terraces, glazed rooms, and circulation routes that follow the terrain. Across its levels, the project reads as a precise response to slope and view rather than a single object on the land.
The Croft sets a contemporary profile on the hillside above Warminster, United Kingdom, where Western Design Architects shape a compact house around long south-facing views. Inside, the open-plan arrangement pulls family life toward the terrace and garden, turning a modest plot into an easy, everyday circuit. Sliding glass, pale finishes, and a shaded balcony keep the house bright yet controlled through changing English weather.
Beverly Crest traces a steep Beverly Hills, CA, United States hillside with the confidence of a seasoned local. Whipple Russell Architects shapes the house as a sequence of terraces, bridges, and rooms, each tuned to the ridgeline and city views.
