Clad in burnt wood, the darkness of the structures is striking against the forest that surrounds them.” Inside, this division is further emphasized; the panoramic view is the focal point for both the living spaces and the master bedroom. In addition to enhancing the landscape through such framing and aesthetic difference, the project aims to be “a minimal and contemplative space, inviting tranquility.”
