This project, set on a 11-hectare property, is driven by the family’s desire to create a new home focused on tranquility, a deep connection to nature, and craftsmanship. The design is anchored by the family house, located in the private part of the property, offering seclusion and privacy while taking full advantage of the views and surrounding landscape. This home is a space for the family to live, socialize, and engage with nature, with proximity to gardening and vegetable growing areas. The house’s architecture, as well as all other buildings on the property, uses wood sourced directly from the property’s forest, making the forest a central element and primary material provider for the project.
The public areas of the property consist of several multifunctional spaces that blend into the landscape. The barn serves as a hub for craftsmanship, with a focus on wood milling, storage, and tools, along with spaces that can be rented by guest craftsmen. It is envisioned as a place of creativity and utility, supporting various activities, including those tied to the property’s vineyard and cider production. The guest house, located near the public zone, accommodates up to 20 guests in a thoughtfully designed space that maintains privacy while fostering communal interactions.
In addition to these, a farmer’s market space is planned next to the road, featuring light wooden structures and pergolas. This area will provide a simple, open space for local producers and market activities, with resting areas under the shade of a majestic old tree, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The tree houses, scattered throughout the forest, offer a unique and immersive experience for guests, allowing them to live in close proximity to nature without disturbing the environment.
At the heart of this master plan is the vision of creating a harmonious balance between the built environment and the natural landscape, with wood from the forest playing a central role in both the construction and the character of each building. The project is a thoughtful blend of private family life and public engagement, all deeply connected to the land through its materiality and focus on nature.
