Earth Facade: Hill-House with Green Roof and Minimalist Entrance

#7774. Earth Facade: Hill-House with Green Roof and Minimalist Entrance

The image showcases an exceptional example of contemporary bioclimatic architecture—a house with a green roof that seamlessly integrates into the hilly landscape. The structure demonstrates an approach where the building becomes a natural extension of the terrain, literally emerging from the earth.

The facade of the building features minimalist execution with geometric expressiveness. The main volume is partially sunken into the ground, with its roof forming an inclined green plane that gently descends to the earth. The frontal part of the facade is designed as a crisp white frame, creating contrast with the wooden finishing of the entrance interior zone. This combination of white concrete and natural wood gives the structure both a modern and ecological character.

A distinctive feature of the facade solution is the asymmetrical entrance with a canopy formed by the protruding corner of the roof. This technique not only creates a protected entry area but also forms a dynamic interplay of geometric volumes. A small window in the wooden section of the facade is subtly integrated into the overall composition. The paving in front of the entrance is made of a water-permeable grid with elements of greenery, emphasizing the ecological orientation of the project.

The green roof not only becomes the main decorative element of the building but also fulfills important functional tasks: it improves thermal insulation, contributes to natural cooling in hot weather, and harmoniously connects the architecture with the surrounding landscape dominated by deciduous trees. The vertical chimney rising above the roof introduces an additional rhythmic accent to the overall composition.
