Inserted like abstract totems in a dense woodland, this ensemble of green volumes by MIX Architecture explores a vernacular of archetypal forms, manipulating pitched roofs, triangular prisms and vertical silhouettes to construct a narrative of ascension and retreat, where geometry becomes both gesture and camouflage, rising from the forest floor in a dialogue of contrast and harmony; painted in a luminous matte green that both disrupts and dissolves into the surrounding foliage, the architecture avoids mimesis in favour of a chromatic tension that amplifies its sculptural presence while reinforcing its botanical kinship, evoking children’s book imagery, minimalist churches or forest observatories, depending on the observer’s imaginary, yet always anchored in a logic of modular assembly and spatial humility, where each volume —living, meditating, resting— functions as a discrete programmatic cell within a loose compositional syntax; the triangular typologies, with their steep gables and circular fenestration, conjure a symbolic verticality, a pull toward the canopy, the sky, or introspection itself, recalling the sacred geometries of traditional Asian temples transmuted into contemporary spatial fragments, their interiors sheathed in pale plywood that reflects warmth and simplicity, contrasting the vibrant exterior and creating an inner quietude that mirrors the forest’s own silence; this interplay of outside and inside, height and enclosure, saturation and restraint, positions the project not as a house but as a habitable landscape, an architecture that withdraws from urban legibility to engage in a subtler reading of presence, domesticity and form, where upwardness becomes both a spatial tactic and a metaphysical metaphor, and where architecture reclaims its role as a sensorial interface with the forest rather than a colonising artefact.
