In a practical sense, not every home can be built under the canopy of a forest or on the shores of a beautiful beach. But when that opportunity does present itself, both homeowners and architects must fully embrace those lovely natural surroundings. In this forest in the Netherlands, Hilberinkbosch Architects have been able to create a beautiful house that would turn heads in any environment. However, they have added elements and design features that do not only look beautiful, they purposefully co-exist with the surrounding forest for a home that feels safe, welcoming, and also distinctly natural.
