Lavasan Ridge Villa

Three stone volumes are held apart on a slope that most builders would have terraced flat. The gaps between them are the point: the hillside runs through the house rather than stopping at it, and the reflecting pool on the middle terrace is the only element that touches all three.

Note

The review placed the house in a group of buildings on difficult ground, which is the right company for it. It read the gaps correctly. It did not mention that the three volumes were also the cheapest way to build here, because the foundations follow the rock and avoid a retaining wall.
