# Descending Level Abodes The Casa Casablanca 67 House is Situated on a Hillside By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-09-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-casablanca-67 References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/orlando-etcheberrigaray-casa-casablanca-67-09-26-2014/) & [em-a.cl](http://www.em-a.cl/) Due to the location of the house on a hillside, the Casa Casablanca 67 is designed with a [downward sloping effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors). Basically each level descends throughout the house. The main material used for the abode is steel, along with pine wood that's been stained a darker color. This helps to give the home a luxurious cabin feel, and not just something that's been placed on a hillside. The final floor level actually stops at a pool, allowing the owners to sit back and relax after a busy day, and take in the views considering they are situated on an elevated hill. The Casa Casablanca 67 House is both classic and refined in the best ways possible.
