{Changing the visual pace here for a moment, and going minimalist. The simplicity in form and material that John Pawson is known for is interpreted for this home - the Nordrhein-Westfalen house in Germany.} Strategies for building on a sloped site fall into two main categories. The architect may choose to cancel out the effect of the slope — through the construction of a podium, through excavation, or by setting the structure on stilts. This design for a family house in Germany adopts another, gentler strategy, following the fall of the land and allowing it to become a defining characteristic of the architecture. As a result the house presents a single storey to the street, but steps down to accommodate a second storey on the garden side. The glass-walled principal bedroom cantilevers out from the upper floor, into the canopy of the trees that grow thickly beyond the terrace wall. -- source link
