The architectural design solution of the second floor being cantilevered over the forest, reduces the building’s footprint on the land while maximizing its integration with the natural environment. This strategic design allows for minimal disturbance to the forest floor, while offering expansive views of the surrounding landscape. The cantilevered structure creates a sense of floating over the forest, enhancing the experience of being immersed in nature, while ensuring the home has the least possible impact on its surroundings.

The overall design was thoughtfully adapted to ensure the young holm oak remained untouched, shaping both the layout and positioning of the home to protect and celebrate this significant natural element.
The design and construction of this home have been led by Esther Rovira, founding architect of ERA Architects, a Barcelona Architect’s firm specialized in unique eco-friendly and energy-efficient homes that integrate cutting-edge design with environmental responsibility.
