This house by Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao comprises a cluster of five-sided concrete blocks that emerge from a forested hillside to offer panoramic views towards the city of Monterrey. The family home was designed by Bilbao's Mexico City studio to occupy a steeply sloping plot with an awkward topography. The uneven terrain informed a proposal that extends across the site, composed of a series of connected volumes arranged to optimise the available views. (Alyn Griffiths for dezeen, April 2017)
