The living room and kitchen are integrated with the external patio, which brings another living room, a space that is the most used by the family. The toilet and pantry complete the spaces.Text description provided by the architects.The project started by choosing the land. The dream was a house between the woods, to interact with nature and make a childhood wish happen: A tree swing.The pool area was chosen to receive constant sun from the shade surrounding the house. Built in the second stage of work, it aims to bring family and children together.We chose a land with these characteristics and adapted a project to preserve the topography and all the trees, creating a house set in the woods.
