Cave Dwellings
Cave Dwellings
Cave Dwellings are homes formed within natural caves or spaces excavated from rock or compact earth. Regional examples adapt existing geological formations to domestic needs through entrances, partitions, and added building elements. Cave Dwellings often combine sheltered interior spaces with courtyards or external rooms, while the properties of the surrounding material influence daylight, moisture conditions, and interior form.
Dwellings Integrated with Slopes and Rock
Dwellings integrated with slopes, rock, or surrounding earth use the site itself as an important part of their architectural setting. Excavated rooms, stepped floors, retaining structures, and exposed facades offer different ways to accommodate terrain, with daylight, drainage, and access shaping the relationships between interior and landscape.
