VELMORA TERRA
About the Project
Living on the same slope as nature.
A low-density residential settlement that follows the natural contours of a sloping site, finished in timber and stone.
Rather than levelling the slope, TERRA makes it part of the plan. Six low blocks step down along the contours, giving every home a view and a relationship with the garden.
Vehicle traffic is kept to the edge of the site; between the blocks there are only footpaths, play areas and a landscape planted with native species.
All project data is representative and was prepared for a concept study.
Architecture
A low silhouette resting on the land.
Block heights were capped so that they never rise above the treetops. Stone-clad ground floors sit into the land, while timber façades and deep eaves shade the upper floors.
Cross-ventilation, rainwater harvesting and planting suited to the local climate were treated as core design decisions for every block.
- Natural stone walls
- Thermally modified timber
- Matte dark metal
- Native plant landscaping
Living Spaces
Shared ground for everyday life.
Shared spaces were planned at the scale residents will genuinely use, with their operation considered from the start.
Garden floors
Private gardens for ground-floor homes and deep balconies overlooking the garden on the upper floors.
Walking paths
A pedestrian spine that links the levels with ramps, designed for step-free access.
Clubhouse
A shared building that brings together a library corner, a multipurpose hall and an indoor fitness area.
Children's garden
Shaded play areas built with natural materials, within sight of the blocks.
