Responding to the terrain with overlapping terraces and an “upside-down” layout, the form of this home designed by Saharchitects is now a part of the landscape. Having lived for years in a 1970’s country style house on the same site in Junglinster, the clients decided it was time to tear it down and build a house that would respond to the triangular shape of the site and take advantage of the slopes and views.
