Residence in Earth

Description:

This earth-sheltered residence is designed as an organic, low-profile dwelling shaped by thermal mass and landscape integration. Curvilinear spaces are organized around a central courtyard that brings daylight, ventilation, and visual continuity into every room. Thick rammed earth walls stabilize indoor temperatures, while domed and green roof forms enhance insulation and blend the structure into its terrain. The house prioritizes passive comfort, material honesty, and spatial fluidity, resulting in a resilient and environmentally grounded residential environment.

Amenities:

Central open-to-sky courtyard, earth-bermed green roof, outdoor deck, passive cooling system, deep shaded openings, integrated storage, flexible study space, natural daylighting, and climate-buffered living zones.
