Fallingwater, Villa Vals, Festus Cave House and Casa do Penedo Gallery

The gallery brings together homes incorporated into waterfalls, hillsides, caves, boulders and trees. Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built over a waterfall at Mill Run, Pennsylvania, dates to the 1930s. Villa Vals was completed in Vals, Switzerland, in 2009. Designed by SeARCH and CMA, the house is embedded in a slope around a circular courtyard opening.

The Festus Cave House in Festus, Missouri, occupies a former sandstone mine that later housed the Caveland roller rink. Curt and Deborah Sleeper began converting the cave into a three-story home around 2004, placing its facade inside the cave mouth. Casa do Penedo, completed in northern Portugal in 1974, is a holiday house constructed between four large boulders. Other photographs show earth-sheltered dwellings, rock-cut rooms, turf-roofed houses, cabins beneath overhangs and several treehouses.

Fantastic post Kelly. I have always wanted to have a 3 story house that is mostly underground. Maybe one day. It is amazing what architects can do.
