Forest Escape is conceived as a modern retreat immersed in the forest – a dialogue between raw geometry and the softness of nature. Defined by monolithic concrete volumes, the house blends into the woodland landscape, its simplicity allowing the surrounding trees to take center stage.

Large windows frame seasonal views and flood the interiors with natural light, creating a continuous connection between indoor calm and outdoor life. Below the landscape, a sunken level opens to a private pool area, reinforcing the house as both refuge and sanctuary.

Forest Escape balances bold materiality with silence and serenity – an architecture of retreat, contemplation, and timeless presence within the forest.
