Exterior shot of a board-formed concrete home at sunset by Mork-Ulnes
An exterior residential precedent showcasing board-formed concrete volumes integrated into a sloping rural landscape at sunset.
- What we like about this project
- The board-formed grain texture creates a wood-like softness on a heavy concrete mass.

- Geometry
- Low-slung, single-story volumes with flat or gently sloped roofs set against a rolling hillside background.
- Facade system
- Board-formed concrete wall panels
- Structural guess
- Concrete shear walls with flat or low-pitch roof structure
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential scale, low profile relative to the surrounding hillside terrain.
- Lighting
- Warm golden hour sunlight backlighting the building and casting deep shadows across the textured concrete facade.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, serene, and grounded in the natural topography.
- Environmental context
- Hilly rural landscape with dry vegetation, olive trees, and distant ridgelines under a bright sunset sky.
- Spatial experience
- The building is integrated into the native landscape, framed in the foreground by tree branches and grasses that create layered depth.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal massing balanced by vertical board-form grain and framing elements in the foreground.
