The villa's exterior is adorned in a pristine white hue, evoking a sense of elegance and timelessness.

Wood accents are strategically incorporated into the design, adding warmth and texture to the villa's facade.

Open floor plans create a sense of spaciousness, and carefully chosen materials enhance the overall ambiance.

Built-in-rocks house

 

Date: May 2020

Location: Jouret Mhed

Category: Residential

 

The unique and innovative design of these houses at T20 is centered around the concept of integrating natural rock formations into the architecture. The primary idea involves converting the natural rocks into a standing wall, serving both as an elevation and a partition for the houses. This distinctive approach not only contributes to the aesthetics of the homes but also embraces a strong connection with nature.

 

At T20, the philosophy of being in harmony with the environment is a fundamental aspect of both thinking and designing. To embody this ethos, the houses are strategically positioned to make use of the existing large rocks on the site. Rather than altering the landscape significantly, the decision was made to have the houses built by and within the massive rocks, allowing them to seamlessly blend into their surroundings.

 

 

The integration of the houses into the rock formations creates a visually stunning and organic appearance, as if the structures naturally emerged from the rocky terrain. This design choice not only promotes a sense of unity with nature but also provides a unique and immersive living experience for the residents.

 

 

Additionally, by situating the houses within the rocks, the remaining land is purposefully left open for gardening, offering a practical and sustainable use of space. Residents can enjoy a connection to the land and engage in gardening activities during their summer vacations, further enhancing the overall relationship between the homes and the natural environment.

Innovative mechanical methods are incorporated into the design to further enhance sustainability.
