And in the process, the home becomes more than a place to sleep and eat; it transforms into a space of safety, comfort and personal expression.<\/p>\n<p>Among many trends emerging within residential spaces is the continuity between the <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/stories\/biophilia-architecture-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">indoor and outdoor<\/a> spaces. To achieve such atmospheres, greenery is incorporated as an integral element in the home design. They are often incorporated in breezeways, patios and semi-enclosed courtyards to ensure proper hydration and exposure to sunlight. Building around a preexisting or purposefully planted tree is a powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/collections\/integrated-tree-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">design technique<\/a> that distorts the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1616596670315TOP_VIEW.jpeg?resize=1920%2C1130&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1130\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1616596671429VILLA_2.jpeg?resize=1920%2C1129&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1129\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/sheltered-villas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheltered Villas<\/a><\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/am-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A&amp;M ARCHITECTS<\/a>, Karpathos, Greece<\/p>\n<p>This villa sits on a geographically-complex land in Karpathos, Greece. The site has a 23 percent slope which makes for a unique yet challenging building project. The villa was built partly underground and partly above ground and was conceived in a manner that deeply respects the natural landscape.<\/p>\n<p>From the geometry to the materials chosen for the project, the goal was to emphasize the site\u2019s remarkable views of the sea. In an effort to respect the site\u2019s natural topography, as well as to emphasize indoor\/outdoor living, the design respects the existing trees. Moreover, large shrubs are purposefully potted in the breezeway-like spaces of the home &#8211; which enforces the indoor\/outdoor feel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1586796068748102.jpeg?resize=1691%2C1999&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Encarna\u00e7\u00e3o II House by Jo\u00e3o Tiago Aguiar, arquitectos, Lisbon, Portugal\" width=\"1691\" height=\"1999\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1586796073585095.jpeg?resize=1676%2C2000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1676\" height=\"2000\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/encarnacao-ii-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Encarna\u00e7\u00e3o II House<\/a> <\/strong>by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/joao-tiago-aguiar-arquitectos-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jo\u00e3o Tiago Aguiar, arquitectos<\/a>, Lisbon, Portugal<\/p>\n<p>Nestled in Lisbon\u2019s Bairro de Encarna\u00e7\u00e3o neighborhood is a newly-built single-family residence.
