Modular mountain project exploring topics of integrating agricultural areas into human living spaces. Because of the shape object perfectly integrating into the landscape of mountains and fields without creating unnecessary visual noises. The structure of the object consists of modules that are fragmentary integrated into the surrounding landscape. House uses surrounding space as functional overlays. Building elements are laid on top of each other in the natural massif system. Architecture grows from the natural surface, forming mountains, fields, craters.

The complex consists of simple rectangular modules. This is because seeding areas are often rectangular in shape, so a composite structure of simple rectangular spaces joined by terraced areas on roofs and walls was chosen for the house.

It was important to create private spaces in the house. Therefore structure grows on axes X and Y and acquires a more autonomous character.
