This modern architecture home is actually residing where an existing ruin once was. The structure carries the concept of shelter throughout itself, with various accents and features including a pool that rises from a concrete volume set in the ground.

The home had to adapt to the rolling terrain. The architects took advantage of this and the living room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are sitting under the pool area to account for the steep incline.
