Forest House

The curved outer wall connects the main residence to a two-story guest house perched on the forest's edge.

Bulbous floor lamps gently illuminate the living spaces when darkness falls.

Late afternoon sun casts playful pine shadows on the solid exterior façade of the Forest House.

The low-slung residential volume evokes the sober structure of a modernist pavilion.

A curving rammed concrete ceiling complements the wave of the latticed brick inner partition.

Each brick in the curved wall was custom cut to ensure a smooth, graduated effect.

LANZA Atelier’s Forest House is a triumph of artisanal expertise and sensitivity toward nature.

With their terracotta brick tones and pale olive accents, the guest house and outer wall blend harmoniously into the forest.

The Forest House’s warm-toned living room looks out onto a verdant garden enclosure.

The curved form of the outer wall’s edge was achieved through meticulous hand-cutting techniques to shape the bricks.

Proportion and contrast allow for a fluid experience of space when moving through the home.
