Sustainable Wooden House Design in Countryside With The Surrounding Forest Landscape

Villa of The Star, a "renovation" project as a part of the Mo Stay project, is built on three main factors: Connectivity - Locality - Sustainability. Nestled in the pine forest, Villa of The Star is an inspiring resort space that blends existing landscape elements into the house, creating a connection between people and nature. The Star is surrounded by a low taluy bank, to avoid heavy rain that can sweep rocks into the house, we use stone steps to create a natural wall, both do not affect the natural state and avoid landslides. The design team found a way to create a project that endures with time, using sustainable materials that are highly local, such as stone, pine wood, concrete and steel, and bricks, to build a construction suitable for the natural context.
From afar, the house has three main blocks: the lower part is clad with tangled stone, creating a feeling of solid support for 2 blocks of pointed roofs made of natural wood with 2 colors brown and black above. The above materials have a connection with the surrounding landscape, creating a harmony between architecture and nature. Bringing people as close to nature as possible, the main idea is that from inside the house, you still feel the change of scenery outside, inside the forest. To do this, The Star uses large glass windows with a selective arrangement to provide a good viewing angle to admire the whole forest, natural light can shine into the space from all sides.
Modified pine wood, known for its moisture resistance, mildew resistance, termite resistance, heat resistance, stability, durability, and environmental friendliness, was chosen by the design team as the main material for the house. The ceiling, walls, and floor are all paneled with modified pine wood. The choice of wood tones from light to dark in each specific position can add depth to the space as well as avoid monotony when using one material. Villa of The Star is a gathering place for families and groups of friends to relax and have fun together. Therefore, the privacy factor as well as the community factor must always be ensured. Grinding concrete floors are used in the common living space (living room - kitchen), it is both a highlight to make the space more outstanding, as well as a distance between the public space and the private space.
The common living space - the kitchen is completely expanded by large glass doors leading to the outdoor area, creating flexibility, and connecting directly inside and out. The spacious and airy outdoor space is suitable for joyful BBQ parties or gathering by the warm fireplace. The dawn of a new day, the fog on cold days, the sound of birdsong, the sound of rain falling on the leaves in front of the porch, a brilliant rainbow after the drizzle. The Villa of The Star project is planned by the architect and the investor to bring a healing and soothing experience to the soul after the chaotic and noisy life in the city.

Oh my! One of the most beautiful houses I've seen. It blends perfectly into the landscape, Uses colours and textures adopted from the surrounding and has perfect craftsmanship. The landscaping is out of this world.

House is beautiful but surely not sustainable!....it's time for human society understand and have to learn that is hard to build something really ecological and sustainable...😢

[@gangtas333]

price?

[@Jorjgasm]

I dislike the dark part of the house, but it is otherwise a nice house. However, I do not see what is sustainable about it aside from the local wood. The description says they used local concrete and steel LMAO. They will just slap sustainable on anything these days. And look at those large window surfaces. This house is many nice things, but not sustainable.

[@robyndismon394]

Well I would ask that YOU explain to me just what 'substainable' actually means, in the context of a home bcz now I am more confused than ever! Is it due to the location?

[@Jorjgasm]

@@robyndismon394 It's about environmental friendliness. The ideal sustainable home is made with materials quarried locally, with minimum energy input for manufacturing and transport, with minimum carbon emissions, with non-toxic materials, and with as little consumption in normal use for climate control as possible. There are standards for these like LEEDs or methods for lifetime environmental impact assessment. Many of these projects are not actually sustainable, because they feature heavy modernist elements. The ideal sustainable home is something like what they built 500 years ago in brick, stone or logs that you adapt and reuse to this very day. New buildings have sustainable elements but large windows, active cooling systems, metallic structures, long supply chains, cement, an inability to reuse elements if you demolish the building; all make such a building less sustainable.
