FOREST HOUSE

AN ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION

By Daniel Morales

INTRODUCTION TO MAKE AN UNIQUE FAMILY HOUSE SURROUNDED BY NATURE, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPES RELATIONSHIP TO CLIMATE AS WELL AS THE DIGITAL TOOLS THAT CAN BRING IT TO LIFE. AS AN ARCHITECT AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WITH MORE THAN 5 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DEDICATED TO THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN & ARCHVIZ INDUSTRY, I BELIEVE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO LINK THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WITH THE 3D VISUALIZATION. FOR THIS REASON, I HAVE CHOSEN TO FULLY DESIGN THE ‘FOREST HOUSE’ FROM CONCEPTUALISATION OF THE LANDSCAPING AND EXTERIOR FORMS TO ALL OF THE INTERIOR DESIGN & STYLING. I ALSO EXPLORED THE SITE BEFORE DESIGNING AS A GUEST OF MY CLIENT TO CHECK THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE PROJECT, FEEL THE CLIMATE AND THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE. THE ‘FOREST HOUSE’ IS A COMMISSIONED PROJECT DEVELOPED FOR -A COLOMBIAN FAMILY- IN MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA, WHERE THE MAGNIFICENT ENVIRONMENT MAKES FOR CHALLENGING BUT SELF-PLEASING WORK. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN & VISUALISATION IS MY PASSION, I HAVE CREATED THIS BOOK TO SHOWCASE THE PROJECT DESIGN & THE IMAGERY PRODUCED, ALSO TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE PROJECT. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

LANDSCAPE WARM TEMPERATURES AND FOREST WIND CURRENTS ARE EVIDENT ON THIS PROJECT ENVIRONMENT. EXISTING PINES AND TALL TREES WERE OUR ALLIES TO REDUCE THE STRONG WINDS AND SUN, WITH THAT IN MIND THE HOUSE WAS SURROUNDED BY NATIVE PLANTS MAKING IT A PERFECT SPOT. THIS IS A MINIMALISTIC PLACE MIMETIZED BY VEGETATION DUE TO HIS SHAPE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST. THE HOUSE AND ITS PLACEMENT ON THE TERRAIN IS A SMALL BUUILDING THAT BRINGS A COOL PLACE TO REST INTO THE FOREST.

ARCHITECTURE SET IN MEDELLIN THIS HOUSE READS AS A COMPACT COZY AND FRESH MODERN SPACE IN FRONT OF A LONG POOL THAT FACES THE CENTRAL PATIO. THE RELATIONSHIP STARTS FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE, WITH A REFRESHING POOL WITH AN ORANGE TREE IN FRONT, ANNOUNCING THE MAIN GARDEN AND HOUSE VIEWS. A MODERN DESIGN LOOK HIDES THE PRIVATE ROOMS IN THE FRONT BUT ALLOWS THE ACCESS FROM BEHIND BY THE POOL, THIS UNITES THE WARM EXTERIOR WITH A FRESH AND ELEGANT INTERIOR. TAKING POSSESSION OF ITS LANDSCAPE IN LIMITS OF THE MOUNTAINS, THE HOUSE IS COMPOSITED TO MAINTAIN FRESH INTERIOR TEMPERATURES AND BRING A LOT OF REFLECTED NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE SPACES WITH THE POOL REFLECTIONS. THE SURROUNDING VEGETATION PLANTS AND METAL STRUCTURE HELP THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE TO ALWAYS MANTAIN COOLER THAN THE EXTERIOR DUE TO THE TREE SHADOWS IN THE FACADES AND ROOF.

INTERIOR STYLING BEING MINIMALISTIC AND MODERN, THE FURNITURE SELECTION AND DECORATIVE PIECES WERE CHOSEN TO FIT THE DESIGN AS WELL AS THE COLOURFUL LOCATION. FOLLOWING AN ELEGANT COLOUR PALETTE, THE USE OF RAW MATERIALS EMBRACES THE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE AND GIVES A TOUCH OF PERSONALITY AND SOPHISTICATION. INSIDE THE BEDROOM, DETAILS WITH TIMBER FLOORS AND GLAZED GALSS ELEMENTS MIMETIZE THE OUTDOOR SPACE, MAKING IT COMFORTABLE AND WELCOMING. TEAMED WITH A MODERN OPEN KITCHEN, THE LIVING ROOM AND DINNIG ROOM BECOME FLEXIBLE SPACES FOR RESTING FROM THE DIRECT SUN OR HAVING SOME REFRESHING REST. THE ART IN THE HOUSE COMBINES THE COLOURS OF THE NATURE & ARCHITECTURE GIVING WITH THE POOL AND ETERIOR GRAVEL CORRIDOR A COOL AND OPEN ENVIRONMENT TO THE INTERIORS.
