Named after the Italian phrase for ‘touched by luck’, Fortunata House is an architectural ode to nature, merging reason and spirit in its design approach.
Built around a majestic Araucaria tree, the home’s placement prioritizes minimal disruption to the land, with its main structure raised on pilotis that lightly touch the earth.
Every material choice, from the in-situ molded concrete to the reused wood, not only respects the local environment and climate but also echoes the region’s traditional craftsmanship. The result is a dwelling that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, embodying sustainability and honoring the beauty of the natural world.
