Shortlisted for the Architecture Hunter Awards 2025

Throughout the project, careful consideration was given to minimizing disruption to the natural environment, with the surrounding flora and landscape preserved to the highest extent possible. This approach not only enhances the home’s aesthetics but also upholds a commitment to conserving the local ecosystem, creating a refined residence that is at one with its natural environment.

Concept

Corten steel plays a central role in the facade, delivering both aesthetic appeal and durability.

The material’s weathered finish aligns with the surrounding forest, while large, strategically placed windows ensure constant visual connectivity with the landscape.

Challenge

One of the key challenges of the Solar residence was building within a pristine forest environment while preserving its untouched character. Balancing architectural ambition with a deep respect for nature, the team had to carefully integrate the residence into the landscape without disturbing the existing flora or altering the natural terrain.

Composition

The architectural layout redefines traditional residential design by placing primary living spaces on a single-story ground level, with a dedicated subterranean floor. The main level accommodates living areas, kitchen, and garage, while the -1 floor houses a spa complex with a private retreat. A thoughtfully designed light pit ensures natural illumination for the underground areas, and a gentle courtyard hill provides direct access to the lower level. Private terraces connected to the master and children’s bedrooms create direct views into the forest, framed by corten steel walls that maintain continuity with the exterior.
