In areas where there is a shelter, often happens landslides after rain, so to withstand a natural disaster, it is this form has been developed by experts.



The house is set so that only one edge of it touches the ground. The rest of the slightly raised. When landslides soil will freely pass under the building, without causing her harm.



To better balance the building this unusual shape, gable roof was made more elongated. The architects decided to "not to overload the" building complex details and finish, and used as the primary building material concrete is locally produced.



The interior is also designed in a minimalist style. Designers have motivated this decision by saying that the simplicity in the house fully compensates stunning views of the valley.
