Forest House
Type
STATUS
Under Construction
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
BUDGET
$100K - 500K
The project is a private residence located next to the dense forest of Thessaloniki. The architecture embraces the slope and the surrounding landscape, forming a sequence of volumes that open towards the trees. The house is organised around a central courtyard, where a sculptural pine creates a natural reference point and brings daylight deep into the interior.
A series of concrete volumes with different orientations define the façades. The geometry creates sheltered outdoor spaces, shaded terraces and long overhangs. Each volume frames views of the forest while ensuring privacy from the street.
Large sliding openings connect the living spaces with the garden. The ground floor accommodates the kitchen, dining and living areas as one continuous space around the courtyard. The connection between inside and outside is direct: the landscape enters the house through planted roofs, recessed gardens and generous glazing.
The material palette is calm and tactile. Earthy volumes, timber cladding and natural tones integrate the building into the forest. Planting on roofs and terraces softens the geometry and supports the microclimate. The interior uses warm textures, soft fabrics and custom-made furniture, creating a comfortable domestic atmosphere.
At night, the house becomes a quiet lantern in the landscape. Subtle lighting emphasises the depth of the spaces and the presence of the inner garden.
The residence offers a balance between privacy and openness: protected from the street, fully opened to the forest. It is a compact and efficient family home where nature, architecture and light define everyday life.
