G House
Located on a steep and rocky 2,500 m² plot, G House is conceived as a single-story compact dwelling, positioned on a partially leveled area previously intervened by former landowners. The untouched portions of the site have been preserved and shaped with a landscape design approach that prioritizes the site’s existing olive trees and natural topography. This sensitive integration not only reinforces the house’s harmony with its environment but also offers residents a living experience deeply connected to the landscape.

The residence is precisely positioned on the terrain through exposed concrete volumes that rest on and hover above the ground, minimizing site intervention while reinforcing continuity with the natural topography. The project explores the relationship between solids and voids as a spatial strategy, shaping paths, visual frames, and gradual transitions between interior and exterior spaces.
