Under the forest - wooden single-storey house

This simple and inexpensive house was designed under the forest in Jura. Entirely made in timber frame technology, which allows to carry out the construction process quickly. Facades covered with boards create an openwork cover, the skin of the house.

House under the forest

The form of the building refers to and results directly from the local building tradition and neighboring homestead buildings. The house from the outside is dark - it blends into the landscape. On the other hand, the interior, thanks to appropriately selected glazing, is bright and connected to the surroundings. All rooms are open to the height of the roof slope, which enhances the feeling of spaciousness and "breath". In order to implement the project in the immediate vicinity of the forest, it was necessary to involve the Minister of Infrastructure and obtain a variance from the technical and construction conditions.
