Living Among the Trees: A Radical Approach to Modern Design | A Forest in the House

Designed by Equipo de Arquitectura, A Forest in the House is a 260-square-meter residence in San Bernardino, Paraguay that redefines the relationship between architecture and nature by preserving and integrating existing trees into the core of its spatial design. Rather than imposing a rigid layout, the house is organized around the natural geometry of the forest, allowing trunks, roots, light, and wind to shape the placement of volumes, columns, and open areas. Built with compressed earth blocks and structured beneath a unifying roof plane, the project balances solid and void to create a fluid living environment where interior and exterior merge seamlessly. The result is a home that feels less like an object placed on the land and more like a framework carefully woven into the living landscape itself.
