CONCEPT

EM{BED}DED explores the extension of a unique topographical site condition into and through a living space. The project choreographs a transition away from the street fabric, allowing for inhabitants to enjoy the restorative qualities of nature in isolation. Rather than sitting atop the steep hill, the home is EM{BED}DED into the earth, becoming apart of the wild landscape. The primary intention of the circulation path is to create a "hike" through the house while simultaneously creating carefully designed "clearings" where beautiful views of nature are framed along the way.
