focuses
on

Shortlisted
for

Architecture
Hunter

2025
Throughout
the
project,
careful
consideration
was
given
to
minimizing
disruption
to
the
natural
environment,
with
the
surrounding
flora
and
landscape
preserved
to
the
highest
extent
possible.
This
approach
not
only
enhances
the
home’s
aesthetics
but
also
upholds
a
commitment
to
conserving
the
local
ecosystem,
creating
a
refined
residence
that
is
at
one
with
its
natural
environment.

Concept
Corten steel plays a central role in the facade, delivering both aesthetic appeal and durability.
The
material’s
weathered
finish
aligns
with
the
surrounding
forest,
while
large,
strategically
placed
windows
ensure
constant
visual
connectivity
with
the
landscape.
Challenge
One
of
the
key
challenges
of
the
Solar
residence
was
building
within
a
pristine
forest
environment
while
preserving
its
untouched
character.
Balancing
architectural
ambition
with
a
deep
respect
for
nature,
the
team
had
to
carefully
integrate
the
residence
into
the
landscape
without
disturbing
the
existing
flora
or
altering
the
natural
terrain.
Composition
The
architectural
layout
redefines
traditional
residential
design
by
placing
primary
living
spaces
on
a
single-story
ground
level,
with
a
dedicated
subterranean
floor.
The
main
level
accommodates
living
areas,
kitchen,
and
garage,
while
the
-1
floor
houses
a
spa
complex
with
a
private
retreat.
A
thoughtfully
designed
light
pit
ensures
natural
illumination
for
the
underground
areas,
and
a
gentle
courtyard
hill
provides
direct
access
to
the
lower
level.
Private
terraces
connected
to
the
master
and
children’s
bedrooms
create
direct
views
into
the
forest,
framed
by
corten
steel
walls
that
maintain
continuity
with
the
exterior.
