Dans le contexte suivant: Il s'agit d'une maison perchée sur une colline, donc je pense à "nid d'aigle".
Par ailleurs, j'ai trouvé les définitions suivantes:Noun 1. eyrie - the lofty nest of a bird of prey (such as a hawk or eagle) aerie, aery, eyry
bird nest, bird's nest, birdnest - nest where birds lay their eggs and hatch their young
2. eyrie - any habitation at a high altitude,
the native habitat or home of an animal or plant
D'autres idées?
Merci.

Discussion
The field is architecture. It is describing the work of an architect, regarding a house on a hill. This is a title, so it's not part of a sentence. Je vais probablement garder "nid d'aigle", c'est ce qu'il y a de plus évocateur en Français.
