Its design is driven by two fundamental principles: connection with nature and spatial flexibility. The residence is structured around a precise structural grid, providing a strong functional and rational character. Its high-tech, industrial aesthetic creates a deliberate contrast with the visual homogeneity of the forest, establishing a dialogue between the artificial and the natural. One of the project&#8217;s defining features is the use of cellular polycarbonate on one of its fa\u00e7ades, enabling a seamless relationship between interior and exterior. This materiality not only softens natural light but also conveys a sense of lightness and transparency, maximizing integration with the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n<p>HOW TO SUBMIT AN UNBUILT PROJECT<\/p>\n<p>We highly appreciate the input from our readers and are always happy to see more projects designed by them.
