Hidden House is a partially underground dwelling in Pimperne, United Kingdom, designed by Western Design Architects in 2023. Nestled discreetly into its landscape, this house maintains distant rural views. The planners agreed to its construction only if it didn’t impact countryside views, requiring the house to be built below the boundary hedge. By leveraging the natural terrain, significant parts of the house sit below ground, with principal windows facing south to capture valley vistas.
The Boulevard, a stunning four-bedroom house designed by Archier in Ivanhoe, Australia, seamlessly integrates with its surrounding Yarra Flats parklands. Embracing the site’s steep topography, this predominantly underground dwelling maximizes the landscape, concealing its structure and extending the natural environment into the home. With an emphasis on sustainability and connection to nature, The Boulevard offers a spacious and efficient living experience for its family of five.
Tucked away in the rolling hills of the Netherlands, the House Under the Ground by WillemsenU Architecten offers a unique and innovative residential design. This 2023 project seamlessly blends into the natural landscape, with a portion of the structure buried beneath the ground to minimize impact.
Featuring an intriguing curved roof and a glass lift that reveals the home’s vertical stacking, the House Under the Ground provides a peaceful retreat for its owners, offering stunning views and a harmonious connection to the surrounding nature.
