The family house near forest is a single storey home that combines burned wood planks and concrete tiles to form a clean, modern facade. Architecture focuses on natural materials and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The contrast between the deep, textured timber and the smooth concrete panels gives the building a clear architectural identity while keeping the atmosphere calm and minimal.
The house sits directly beside the forest, so the living room and the master bedroom open toward the trees and natural views. Large windows frame the greenery, allowing daylight to fill the interior throughout the day. As a result, the architecture feels grounded and closely connected to its natural setting.
Inside, the plan is simple and functional. An inner yard stands at the centre of the house, bringing direct sunlight deeper into the rooms and creating a stronger sense of space. The inner yard also introduces small trees and sky reflections into the daily interior life, adding softness and calm. Moreover, it works as a gentle divider between different functional zones while keeping the home visually open.
Because the home is designed on one level, movement between spaces is easy and intuitive. The living area opens to the forest, while the private rooms are placed along more sheltered sides of the house. The material continuity between exterior and interior also strengthens the architectural character and creates a balanced, soothing environment.
Overall, the burned wood family house near forest combines natural materials, clear geometry, and thoughtful spatial planning to create a calm, contemporary home with strong ties to nature.
