Concrete Shell of House Seen from Road

Concrete shell of an earth-sheltered house with a cantilevered roof slab and a curved retaining wall, seen from the road nearby

The concrete shell seen from the road, with the roof slab cantilevering over the terrace and the curved retaining wall guiding the earth berm into the slope. The vineyard above the house is the reason the roof itself became a terrace garden. Photo: © Talpa House.
