Residence in the forest integrates a substantial program with its forest environment, creating a tranquil inner courtyard while maximizing forest views.

The L-shaped design forms a symbiotic connection with the forest, reducing its visual impact and providing immersive forest vistas from within. This layout not only enhances the connection with nature but also offers a unique living experience that is deeply intertwined with the surrounding environment.

The ceramic facade comprising two distinct modules set at different angles. Its artistic ceramic facade, featuring two different modules at varied angles, adds a dynamic aesthetic dimension. This dynamic design plays with light and shadow throughout the day, mirroring the forest's ever-changing beauty. It's an innovative and aesthetic feature that underscores the project's commitment to contemporary design while honouring the natural world.
