In the woods

When a plot borders a forest, the woods inevitably become part of the house, and the house becomes part of the woods.

We therefore designed a home with simple, clean lines that does not compete with the surrounding greenery, while allowing maximum views toward the landscape.

The transparent ground floor is screened from the street, yet remains open to the forest on all other sides. From the moment the front door opens, the views surround and embrace the house. From the entrance to the bedroom, daily life unfolds in constant contact with nature.

כאשר מגרש גובל ביער, הטבע הופך לחלק בלתי נפרד מהבית, והבית נטמע בתוכו.

לכן תוכנן מבנה בקווים פשוטים ונקיים, שאינו מתחרה בצמחייה ומאפשר מבטים פתוחים ככל האפשר אל הנוף.

קומת הקרקע השקופה מוגנת כלפי הרחוב, אך פתוחה אל היער מכל שאר הכיוונים. מרגע הכניסה לבית, הנוף עוטף את החללים ומלווה את חיי היומיום לאורך כל הדרך.
