House Among Teak Trees / Aarcano Arquitectura

The house is carefully sited in the middle of the dense teak forest and native trees creating an atmosphere of tranquility and contrasts. The discreet geometry oriented from east to west is painted in a dark gray that mimics the color of the bark of teak trees which harmonizes with the scenery and makes a perfect camouflage. It’s a simple and light design composed of a rectangle with one open facade that opens freely toward the active goat farm life. The volume rises on stilts in response to the soil and rain runoff, allowing the space to float above the forest floor, minimizing the house footprint to impact its environment, and permitting a passage for the existing wildlife and air movement.
