For inspiration I have done some research into existing architecture found in forests. I have looked at the existing structures size, the materials used, the placement of the structure etc. I've done this research Looking into these existing structures for ideas for my designs.
House Villa near Vilnius / GYZA
The house villa found in Lithuania is an environmentally friendly house. Even when you stay indoors, you will have the impression of living in a forest on the bank of the river. The main task of the design was to retain the existing trees near the house. The design was influenced by the trees, the river and quite steep natural terrain down the road at the entrance to the plot, to the land parcel free of trees on the riverside.The building site was chosen at the foot of the natural slope bare of trees, by embedding the major part of the house into the current relief and focusing the windows to the sunny side of the river.
