مشابه این سایت معماری ما در شمال تهران و خیلی شهرهای کوهستانی دیگه کشور کم نداریم. سایتی که در شیب صخره ای کوه قرار داشته باشه و خونه لاجرم باید به داخل خاک بره. راهکار اصلی معمارهای ما در این موارد پاک کردن صورت مساله ست. خونه رو می برن تو دل توده و تمام بخش های بی ارزش رو به قسمت خاک و صخره تکیه می دن تا محافظت کنن خونه رو از اون بخش ها و نور رو تنها از بخش جنوبی می گیرن.
اما این معمار یهودی در قدس گرفته خونه ای طراحی کرده که اتفاقا همین جداره صخره ای پشت خانه شده جاذبه اون. نور رو از بالا گرفته و با جدار شیشه ای انگار صخره های طبیعی دکوری زنده و پویا و همیشه پرروح برای خونه هستند. واقعا در طرح هامون چقدر فرصت ها هست که توسط ما تبدیل به تهدید یا در بهترین حالت ها هدر می شه....
A bare cliff face is visible through the abutting glass walls of a Jerusalem house.
The two-storey house was recently completed by architects
Paritzki & Liani, who are based in Tel Aviv.
The L-shaped ground floor of the house is positioned beside the rock face whilst the top floor tunnels into it.
The building has a chequered white facade of Jerusalem stone that is exposed on both the exterior and interior walls.
The residence is named Barud House, after the traditional Israeli warning call for an imminent mountain explosion.
Other recently published projects in Israel include a refurbished apartment with a vaulted ceiling and a house that combines traditional Palestinian and Islamic architecture with modernism - see all our stories about projects in Israel here.

Hers’s some more text from Itai Paritzki & Paola Liani:
Barud House by Paritzki & Liani Architects
Barud – a warning call shouted by construction workers before exploding the rock mountain in Jerusalem.
It is superfluous to emphasize that, from our very first visit to the site, impressed by a pink Cyclamen growing out of the rocky face, we decided to allow ourselves to be guided by the raw state of the terrain.

Our treatment of the site emerged from this stabilitas loci, which we subdivided into three main themes: Jerusalem, a city of rock and stone; wide aerial views; and the sacred architecture of multiple religions intersecting in the skyline. These images composed the texture and backdrop for the project.
The house is positioned accordant to the mountain by constructing its first floor as an L-shape juxtaposed to an exposed rock wall. The living space, screened by glass mediates between a view of the minimal and pure geometric form of the rock on one side, and the landscape panorama on the other.
The two upper volumes, in contrast, project from the landscape, they converge with the rock forming a tunnel. The passageway leads from +6 metres at the top of the site, down to a subterranean room at +3 metres, descending further, to a sequestered subsidiary entrance.

Whether from the road, or a path which curls between the drywalls and cypress trees of a nearby property, the house appears a woven surface, even a bas-relief. The effect is composed by alternating 2cm projections of 53 x 25 cm modules of Jerusalem stone. The patterned surface establishes a powerful relationship between the building and the variations in light conditions throughout the day, and the passing seasons.
The composition of natural contours, the mountain, and the house draws out a near serigraphic effect between the constructed and natural landscapes.
If on the outside the chiaroscuro pattern seems screen-printed, the building’s interior allows light to penetrate its volumes, accentuating depth. Daily life in the house runs parallel to the exposed rock, separated by only a slender gap, or wadi: a tribute to the winter rain and snow.
