K House by D.I.G Architects and Nawakenji-m. This small faceted house by Japanese studios D.I.G Architects and Nawakenji-m is embedded in a steep slope overlooking the city of Nagoya (+ slideshow).
The architects excavated into the hill to level the site and created a large living room on the sunken floor. The front door leads onto a upper deck suspended across the breadth of the house, where metal stairs lead down to the level below. There are no windows on the street-facing elevations, but a glazed wall spans the back of the house and slides open onto a terrace with more faceted walls. Photography is by Tomohiro Sakashita. Here's some more information from D.I.G Architects: K House A small house located on a steep slanting slope. Left only with a very narrow flat part which is barely enough for a car, the site was steeply sloped down, almost like a cliff.
We first had an idea to excavate the ground to generate a living space. Tietgenkollegiet – najlepszy akademik jaki kiedykolwiek stworzono. Student Portals At RMIT Swanston, Melbourne. ＬｉＹｕａｎ Ｌｉｂｒａｒｙ. Townhouse by Buensalido Architects. Buensalido Architects have sent us images of a townhouse they’ve designed in Manila, Philippines.
Description from the architects Designed for a newly married couple, this townhouse is a tribute to the Filipino spirit. Buensalido Architects, a Manila-based archietctural design firm that pushes for contemporizing Filipino architecture, found the aesthetic expression of this design intent through triangles, an abstracted representation of banderitas (or flaglets) that one would commonly see in local fiestas and festivals. As a country, the Philippines has one almost every day.It is a manifestation of the Filipino’s optimism and positive outlook in their lives, always knowing how to smile no matter how bad their situation is.

Skirt + Rock House by MCK Architects. Australian firm MCK Architects were commissioned to do an addition and remodel on a modest-sized bungalow on a hill in Vaucluse, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The Skirt + Rock House came to be because the homeowners were in need of additional space and wanted more of a connection to the outdoors. The site came with a huge rock nestled in the hill in the back that eventually became a natural focal point for the house. The back of the house (which houses the extension) features a double-height living room that has windowpanes at the top and sliding door panels at the bottom that really open the space up. The sliding doors completely open one of the back corners up to the backyard – only two, small visible supports remain in view. HouseK / Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects.
