This Concrete House Lets You Live In The Middle Of The Forest
Having lived in a city, many people are used to waking up in the morning, looking out the window, and seeing nothing but buildings. So of course one can only dream that one day, they’d be able to live in a place where they are surrounded by nature but still have the conveniences of “civilization”. There are a lot of house concepts right now where all you need to do is step out of your front door or sometimes even just look out your window and you’re one with nature.
One such house is Copas, a contemporary and minimalist concrete house located in the forests of Valle de Brava in Mexico so you get the best view of nature from your window and especially from the rooftop terrace, where you feel like you’re part of the forest. The colors of the house are similar to the tree trunks and rock formations that surround it. The overall design of the house gives you the impression like you’re climbing a mountain.
The private bedrooms on the lower level has glazing that frames the forest while the kitchen, dining room, and the lounge space also give a beautiful view of the surrounding woodlands. The terrace on the roof extends towards the trees while the swimming pool on the higher volume is the perfect way to cap off a relaxing day in your abode.
The two-volume house is integrated into the slope so there’s not much excavation that will disturb the surroundings. The house has also different finishes to complement the concrete look, including wood furniture, natural rugs and fabrics so you get an even cozier feeling. This is such an interesting house to live in especially if you’re sick and tired of the concrete jungle.
