\"In<\/p>\n

A new home designed by Equipo de Arquitectura<\/a> begs the question: is it a house in a forest or a forest in a house? The name of the project sheds some light on that, aptly titled \u201cUn Bosque en la Casa,\u201d or \u201cA Forest in the House.\u201d Bricks, steel, glass, and concrete combine in a single-story contemporary home that\u2019s all corners, volume, and apertures, while the trees and tropical plants around it organically soften its angles.<\/p>\n

Architects Horacio Cherniavsky and Viviana Pozzoli took the lead on this new home in San Bernardino, Paraguay, challenging the notion that nature is in direct opposition to development. \u201c\u2018A Forest in the House\u2019 proposes an alternative approach to harmonizing the built form with its natural surroundings,\u201d the studio says. \u201cRather than treating existing trees as obstacles, the project embraces them as fundamental guides that shape the spatial program.\u201d See more on the firm\u2019s Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
