Located in Cariló, Argentina, within a protected forest area of high environmental value, the house arises from a fundamental premise: to inhabit the landscape without altering it. The project is nestled among the existing pine trees through a precise placement that preserves the vegetation and takes advantage of the site's natural conditions, establishing a relationship of respect and coexistence with the surrounding ecosystem.
The architecture is organized through a series of horizontal concrete planes that appear to float among the trees, generating a composition where matter and void acquire equal importance. The slabs are not conceived as solid, autonomous elements; on the contrary, they are subjected to a process of subtraction, a design operation by which the built mass is eroded to allow the forest to permeate the architecture. Voids, cuts, and displacements fragment the structural planes, creating a sense of lightness and continuity with the natural environment.
This strategy of subtraction transforms the building's presence. Where matter would traditionally exist, openings appear that capture fragments of sky, treetops, and beams of light. The slabs seem to gradually dissolve, allowing nature to visually and spatially penetrate the dwelling. The result is an architecture that does not compete with the landscape, but rather finds its form within it.
The beams and eaves are among the most expressive elements of the project. With precise geometry and sharp profiles, they project outwards like taut lines that echo the verticality of the pine trees. These structural extensions evoke an abstraction of forest branches, establishing a dialogue between the rationality of the architecture and the organic forms of nature. Their arrangement generates a sequence of shifting shadows that emphasizes the passage of time and the constant relationship with the surroundings.
The large glazed planes reinforce the idea of permeability and transparency. The boundaries between interior and exterior become blurred, allowing views to extend into the forest and making the presence of the trees a permanent part of the spatial experience. The architecture is perceived as a succession of inhabited platforms immersed in vegetation, where each environment maintains a direct connection with the landscape.
