Mountain Terrace Houses

The proposed design for the array of the M.O. mountain terrace houses focuses on blending contemporary architectural aesthetics with the use of local materials, creating a sustainable and contextually appropriate living environment. The design incorporates clean, minimalist lines, open-plan layouts, and functional spaces, with large windows and terraces fostering natural light and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Stone is utilized in facades, finishes, and structural elements, reflecting the local character while ensuring durability and a reduced environmental footprint. The spatial organization arranges the terrace houses in a linear array, optimizing land use while maintaining privacy, and includes shared spaces like courtyards or community gardens to encourage social interaction. The facades draw inspiration from local vernacular patterns, reinterpreted in a modern context, while landscaping with native plants complements the surrounding environment. Overall, the design delivers a flexible, sustainable, and harmonious living environment that integrates modern living with regional identity.
