#17616. Circular house with atrium: integration of modern facade into forest environment

This impressive architectural solution represents a circular house elegantly integrated into the forest landscape. The building has a perfectly round shape with an inner courtyard-atrium in the center, creating a unique facade design that interacts with the surrounding nature. The project's special feature is how the architect preserved existing trees, allowing them to grow through the house structure.

The facade is executed in a modern minimalist style with abundant glazing, providing a visual connection between the interior space and the forest. The lower level is illuminated by built-in lights, creating the effect of a floating structure in the evening. The facade materials — concrete and glass — form an expressive contrast with the organic texture of the surrounding forest.

The building's roof also serves as a functional area with gravel covering, adding practicality and improving the thermal insulation properties of the house. This solution can be adapted for smaller-scale private homes by using circular or semicircular elements in the design, panoramic glazing, and integrating natural elements into the building's architecture.
