On the north-western Italian Alps, amid the lakes and solitary peaks of the Vialattea area, rises one of the most evocative landscapes in Piedmont, the Monti della Luna, or "mountains of the moon", named for the lunar-like terrain. The magnificent scenery is like something out of a fairy-tale with its numerous valleys and mountains: ideal for trips...

The structures are simple and straightforward, reminiscent of the ranches, farms and vineyards that typify the Anderson Valley north of San Francisco. The hillside setting is populated with oaks and madrone trees. The siting of the house strikes a balance between taking advantage of views while also avoiding the ambient noise from a nearby road.

In designing this project, we consoled two structures in the form of a core from the cliff, and the house is connected to these two structures like a bridge, and the reason for the distance of the house from the rock is ventilation and natural light from the side of the rock.

Green energy is becoming more and more popular each year, as people become more aware of the benefits it can offer. Not only does green energy help the environment, but it can also save homeowners money on their energy bills. This blog post will discuss how modern homes can benefit from renewable energy.
