"Along the winding banks of Poland's longest river, the Vistula, a remarkable home by 77 Studio redefines what it means to build within nature rather than on top of it. Known as the House in the Slope, this single-family residence is embedded into a riverside embankment, allowing it to merge seamlessly with the terrain. With a corten steel facade, a planted green roof, and a design that preserves natural contours, the home prioritizes privacy, quiet, and panoramic views, all while leaving minimal visual impact"
"Arrival is a carefully orchestrated experience. The entrance is carved into the slope like a steel-lined ravine, leading down a sunken driveway to a recessed patio and front door. This approach conceals the river view until the moment one steps inside, heightening the impact of the reveal. The corten steel used along the driveway and facade has a rich, weathered patina that harmonizes with the surrounding soil and grasses, grounding the structure in its setting."
Situated along the Vistula's winding banks, the House in the Slope is embedded into a riverside embankment to merge seamlessly with the terrain and improve thermal efficiency. The structure is rotated to align with layered sightlines, ensuring almost every room opens toward panoramic vistas of vegetation, the city skyline, and the river. An entrance carved into the slope conceals views until entry, amplifying the reveal. Corten steel clads the driveway and facade with a weathered patina that harmonizes with soil and grasses. A planted green roof restores the meadow, protects sightlines, enhances insulation, and supports native riverbank biodiversity.
