House in Tamba / MIDW

The site lies in a small mountain town. Along its northern edge, a natural slope carved out during land development remains exposed, now overgrown with wild vegetation and supporting a modest ecosystem. Subtle shifts in the site's topography suggest a faint continuity with the distant fields and village landscape. Using this relationship with the ground as a point of departure, the building volume is arranged to embrace a triangular garden set against the slope.
