this roundup aims to provide examples of houses that tackle their relationship with topography in different ways. At the same time, it hopes to offer brainstorming ideas for architects looking to design in similar contexts. Interestingly, three strategies became evident when working with sloped terrain: The first is to elevate the structure on stilts, allowing the interior layout to remain horizontal and detached from the irregularities of the land below. The second approach involves creating stepped or terraced forms that follow the slope, dividing the program vertically, and allowing each level to adapt to different elevations. The third builds on the previous two by using the slope itself as a generator for the form, by aligning or contrasting the geometry of the house with the incline.
