But his epiphany, although fleeting, would become timeless: a sleek, layered house perched over a cascading stream, dubbed Fallingwater. Wright\u2019s desire to place the design directly on top of the dynamic natural element for which the site was initially selected was, at the time, unheard of. But countless desert modernists soon followed in his wake, welcoming the untamed landscape further into the houses they designed.<\/p>\n<p>Wright presented his apprentices with a simple litmus test: \u201ccan you say,\u201d he asked, \u201cwhen your building is complete, that the landscape is more beautiful than it was before?\u201d His Transcendentalist underpinnings shaped Wright\u2019s understanding of the human connection to nature, a connection that could be mediated through architecture. He identified a difficult challenge: to merge building and setting in a manner more symbiotic than parasitic. Whether rising from deserts, riverbanks, mountains or forests, the houses in this collection all embody this mediation, embracing in their own ways the uneven topography of the landscape.<\/p>\n<p>While architecture results from the sculpting of raw material into habitable space, these projects place an equal premium on the untouched surfaces of land. Architects juxtapose and integrate their material manipulations with some jagged, charismatic house guests, using the innate drama of a boulder or bedrock to remind the inhabitants of another, more persisting kind of architecture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/3be8c875.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/3be8c875.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/3be8c875.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/3be8c875.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/3be8c875.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/3be8c875.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Olson Kundig\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Olson Kundig<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/87920a95.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/87920a95.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/87920a95.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/87920a95.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/87920a95.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/87920a95.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Olson Kundig\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Olson Kundig<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/eec0145a.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/eec0145a.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/eec0145a.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/eec0145a.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/eec0145a.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/072013\/eec0145a.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Olson Kundig\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Olson Kundig<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/the-pierre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pierre<\/a><\/b>by <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/olson-kundig\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olson Kundig<\/a>, San Juan Islands, United States<\/p>\n<p>Firmly embedded into a rock on San Juan Island, the rectilinear design of the retreat sits in contrast to the natural curves of the boulders that it is ensconced within.

The architects identified two rock-enclosed \u201crooms\u201d separated by a small ravine and decided to fit the built elements into these naturally carved spaces. The clean-cut stone surfaces of the house stand in dialogue with the boulders strewn all around the site, suggesting a gradient between the imprecise yet satisfying spaces of nature and the more exacting abodes of mankind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><p><em>Architects: Want to have your project featured?
