Situated in this beautiful forest, the “Waccabuc” house is a dynamic example of modernForest house.The minimalist building is located in a small village in Wetchester, New York. The unique location inspired the architect Chan Li Lin to create his design. The rocks and the trees determined the direction and shape of theWaldhauses. The original Waccabuc house was built in the 1950's. It was designed as a one-story house and when the architect stood at the roof of the old building, he saw the beautiful view and decided to design the living room on the second floor.
Modern forest house - a design from the USA
The location of theWaldhausesis away and offers the owners peace and relaxation. The modern architecture and size of the property further protect the resident's privacy. The architect focused on the connection between the surrounding nature and theForest house. It should open up to the area to the maximum. The minimalist exterior design consists of two simple cubic blocks. The upper floor hangs dramatically over the lower floor, creating an optical illusion and dynamism and protecting the living rooms at ground level from the sun.
Interesting minimalist architecture – house on a hillside
No trees were cut while doing thisForest housebuilt. The architects worked with great respect for nature. The lower floor of the house was incorporated into the rocky slope. Many large windows were very carefully planned to provide maximum illumination to the living areas. You can also “feel” the forest in the interior design. The architects called the forest house “a modern tree house”. This means a refuge in the middle of the forest where you can play and rest.
