Landscape-integrated architecture / Tag

Planted Pavilion extends a long-running architectural story on a Constantia estate in Cape Town, South Africa, by Malan Vorster Architecture Interior Design. This new pavilion settles into a steep hillside, linking restored house, acclaimed Tree House, and gym building through a historic poplar-lined wagon road. Across glass, planted roofs, and water, the project draws the wider landscape and Table Mountain views into everyday life on the property.

Rock Villa stretches along the rocky terrain of Bumehen, Tehran, Iran, reading as an outgrowth of the mountain rather than a conventional house. Raad Group arranges the volumes with care, tucking rooms into the slope while letting upper levels lean toward the center of the site. The project uses landscape, light and reused materials to tie daily life to the climate that surrounds it.
