Forest house

2025
architect: Serhii Hotvianskyi

The house is located within a mixed forest on a site with a pronounced natural slope. The architectural strategy is based on minimal intervention and preservation of the existing woodland undergrowth.

Development is concentrated in the upper part of the site, while the lower terrain remains untouched. This approach preserves the authentic forest structure and allows residents to experience a natural landscape rather than a curated park environment.

The building volume is conceived as an elongated horizontal structure integrated into the topography. Through cantilevered slabs and careful level manipulation, the house appears to hover above the landscape, reinforcing the perception of a floating mass.
