A Forest in the House, San Bernardino: Non-Orthogonal Architecture That Grows With Nature

A Forest in the House, San Bernardino is a groundbreaking residential project in Paraguay that redefines sustainable architecture. Built within an existing forest, the house uses compressed earth blocks (CEB), a non-orthogonal structural system, and a raised floor to preserve tree roots and natural drainage. The roof perimeter defines the layout, while voids and solids respond to the surrounding vegetation. This project demonstrates climate-responsive design, passive cooling, and harmony between architecture and landscape. 00:00 - Intro Architectural Utopia 00:05 - A Forest in the House, San Bernardino History 02:58 - Outro Architectural Utopia #ArchitecturalUtopia #AForestInTheHouse #Architecture #Paraguay #GreenBuilding #ModernHouse #ForestHouse #TreeHouse #ModernArchitecture #EcoHouse
