Explore A Cabin in the Woods that Reflects the Surrounding Landscape (House Tour)

- Tucked into an alpine environment, Forest House by Faulkner Architects is a cabin in the woods surrounded by thick pine trees, Fir trees and basalt rock. Desiring to save and protect the landscape, the architects saved 95 per cent of the trees on the property by leaving the front land largely untouched. As the clients delivered a simple brief with an open mindset, the architects were able to create a cabin in the woods that respected its surrounds and did not fall to the arbitrary aesthetics of larger homes in the area.
Due to its nature-rich location, the home remains neutral and respective by allowing the landscape to breathe and embrace its structure. As the house tour moves inside, the front of the home opens into the living, dining and kitchen areas. Tucked behind the kitchen is a small family room, while an addition of a hidden office allows for further separation of spaces where the clients can find a place to work, study and rest. Additionally, the master suite has been left on the main level, while the three ensuite guest rooms are positioned upstairs for increased separation of private and public spaces.
Described as a cabin in the woods that is an atmospheric exercise in form and light, the architects began the process of designing Forest House by looking to the sun. Due to this, the home is positioned on an elongated rectangle that stretches along the east-west axis and faces south, gaining the maximum amount of sun exposure. Splashing the home with light during the day, skylights allow for advantageous views of the night sky when stars are twinkling overhead. Once opened, the doors of the public areas allow for an increased flow of movement, with the sounds and smells of nature wafting through and enhancing the idealistic life of living in a cabin in the woods.
With every project built by Faulkner Architects there is a focus on sustainability, as such, Forest House is built with non-flammable materials that reference this focus. Starting with a palette of concrete and steel, the architects bring in materials that allude to the nature of the property. Crafting the building in a collage-like nature, the architect references the forest’s pattern. Black steel recedes like the surrounding trunks, while light concrete stands out in the sunlight and the glass façade reflects the surrounding forestry. Embracing its location, Forest House is a home that encompasses the idealistic life of living in a cabin in the woods.

Iuu
If I ever hit the powerball I would build something like this. Lord knows working hard, saving, and investing wisely will never make me enough to afford this. I'm a solid thousandaire 😭
I'm more of a hundredaire myself.
I am going to build this in my home country
Same. A modern house in a forest is my literal "fantasy splurge".
The local project is going global and there's nothing you can do about it. Love it
The Global Project
Why would anyone want to "do something about it."
It's like, "Hey I don't want The Local Project to expand because of... uhh. Reasons."
@@kilikolo56 It's just a saying calm down

I love that the initial thought for the property was to save the forest and to save the trees while constructing a home. I do appreciate the use of concrete and other fire resistant materials in a California home. Internally the use of timbers within the concrete warms the home. The large fireplace is beautiful in the living room creates a beautiful space. I hope to see ths5home stand the test of time. Quite lovely and very well thought out.
Probably one of my favorite spaces since I saw it on UNCRATE years ago - Bravo Faulkner Architects
The cabin feel is something not replicable. Love it!
It feels very green, the forest is breathtaking yet the home is very strong & sustainable. Thanks Local Project
1:22 wooow. When I visit different houses, first what I check if there is a "skirting board" :) And from that moment I can immediately say if I love the interior or not. This is absolute perfectness. It's so rare to find such precise work.
Editing and composition of the video itself - is another level! Fabulous choreography of views and sound effects !
This is very beautiful, in a wonderful spot. It must be so refreshing to be there, with the forest all around.
beautiful use of materials - it fits so perfectly into nature
There is lots to love about this home. One of my favorite things is the hidden partition wall blocking off the kitchen when needed. We're soon going to be breaking ground on our next home and I may want to borrow that partition idea for my open concept space.
We're glad you love it!
Love this. Can't wait to place my next order.
What a beautiful house and location.
Brilliant…one with the surroundings!!!
Lovely, Another concrete box. 😍
Guys, this project is unbelievable. May be the house outside is a little bit contemporary for me. But everything inside and the atmosphere itself so powerful and simple at the same time, so cool. So touching❤
Love it… the trees are saved…
Word salad architecture and interior. STrange.
Es hermosa en su sencillez y a la vez compleja
Wonderful !!
Perfection!
Majestic.
Love being able to separate the dining area from the kitchen if wanted....brilliant!
Definitely, such an innovative design!
Прекрасный дом в потресающие месте
I'd never leave. Love.
They did a good job with it.
WOW!!!
Unbelievable good Video 👍🏻
Good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
everyone dream..to living place like this...
ESPECTACULAR EDICIÓN, MÚSICA Y ARQUITECTURA..💜💜💜
It's ironic to end the video on a quote about knowing where everything is because these videos are always very slick but so disorienting
😍😍😍
How did they get the squirrel to drop the pine cone on queue? Such small details 🐿️🎬
🙌🏻🌱🌱🌱
I think this is art gallery architecture, it works well because it is a gallery to natural locations like this. It wouldn't work so well in a less attractive location. (Not sure about the 'urban threat' music at the end).
Beautiful home. Well done. But labeling concrete as "sustainable" is misleading. Concrete production is very energy intensive and produces massive amounts of CO2.
👍👍👍👍
Note to self. Architectural House in Forest = Cabin. 😛
How were the sliding panels made? What material and how was it sourced and integrated?
ขอขอบคุณ
I love this channel is their any other channels like this?

Does anyone know what the kitchen backsplash is made of? It looks amazing!
zinc
don't get it dirty
cool@@nodonkey4125
Yo loves yall vids but recently the music has been overshadowing the voice audio in your vids i think lowering the music volume or increasing voice audio would make these perfect
its a nice and solid porject, but the house on the left at 0:45 looks way more interesting
This is beautiful. How much is it?
Does anyone live there, or is it for short-term rental? The fact that the upstairs bedrooms are all ensuite, and the empty kitchen, hint that it's an AirBnB. In which case I would have left the other 5% of trees alone. I do like the wrap-around skylights.
Music feels like we're about to discover a dead body
I'm super curious to know what the cost per sq/ft would be for the building construction (without land). Any guesses? Would be amazing for the designer/builder to chime in, if only to provide a range.
Probably ~$1500/sqft
That seems reasonable for Truckee, with a pure architectural build. The current median is $670 sq. ft (May 2023).
Don't know for the US, but this level of design in NZ anything from 6000 NZD/m². So, taking a wild guess, I would say anything from around 3 000 USD/m².
3:25 Is it just me or did he just namedrop the word "susatinability" and then not actually say anything about it?
He segues it by saying most of their projects are built with non-flammable materials, which means maybe not this one in particular, but there you go.
@@sergiosaunier a material being non-flammable doesn't mean it's sustainable
@@ammj6791 I made a somewhat ironic point which you seemed to have missed, but there you go.
🏕️ First in line
Worth the wait, we promise! 🙂
I do have one question and maybe this is more for the owner and not necessarily for the architect. California does have forest fires. Is there an irrigation system perhaps a solar power irrigation system which can be used to water the trees if a forest fire were to occur?
On the first row
An interesting house but it is based on a wrong/selfish reply to the question "How do we save this (environment)"; the right answer was: "by refraining from building anything in it"
👏
what drone do you guys use?
Is concrete sustainable?
Absolutely not. Concrete has a huge CO2 footprint.
It's the best material if you consider embodied energy (meaning it takes the least amount of energy to produce), but it's not very recyclable
@@benniwolf I know, was just being sarcastic. I find it funny when architects/builders talk about sustainable homes whilst having a portfolio full of concrete buildings.
But then the trees grow on the CO2…
While I do like the design that is my concern about the use of concrete. Concrete is known to be problematic but if it truly lasts forever maybe it works.
Imagine trying to get fire insurance for that house in Australia ...
Would love to live there
I have an assignment in sketchup of this project. Does anyone can help me ?
3:26 "Every project we build is sustainable ... We always start with a palette of concrete and steel"
Those two sentences are contradictory. Steel and Concrete are not sustainable materials. If you're going to use unsustainable materials, use them, I've no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is them pretending to be "Sustainable" when they are absolutely not. Greenwashing at it's finest.
Nice house. However the nauseating editing pace and bombastic music don't match the structure at all.
i live in the alpine area and it is good to save trees but the trees block the million dollar views to the mountains and sky
"The entry is somewhat concealed from view upon approach. You earn the sequence of arrival by moving parallel to the from, associating with it." has got to be one of the dumbest, most ridiculous was to describe walking along a path to a door around the corner. They always sound so stupid as they try to think of every word they read in their favourite thesaurus.
A little too much focus on edits. Harder to experience the spaces with this one.
im scared of snakes and spiders
Minecraft with RTX
Concrete is not the most sustainable product to build houses
Dont want to bring negativity but the music ruined the natural feeling for this epiloge and videography. I love all your videos nonetheless.
Sustainable concrete. Sure.
"cabin"
The house is amazing! But how Greg Faulkner uses the words ‘sustainable’ and then talks about steel and concrete, two materials with massive CO2 footprint is very confusing (at best).
I love the location and the fact that the tree's were left...But to be honest, the house design feels chaotic... lacking grace! A mish-mash of ideas without a coherent flow of concept. A little like they wanted to include too many ideas at once. I also don't feel the design reflex its location. I seems to site in among the trees, but, not feel like it's one with its space.... harsh and unyielding.... Like an expensive parking-lot in the woods.
Not exactly my definition of a “cabin in the woods”.
I wish this video didn’t cut so rapidly between different shots, it made it really difficult to focus on anything. Seems like a beautiful house, but the editing made it hard to really choppy and hard to take it in
*EXACTLY* !!
I wrote nearly same before I saw your comment.
Expensive concrete prison box.
Nice ma.... "Modest intervention" just no. The square footage is not at all sustainable.
The house is great but I don't think the super-villain music suits the interior
коробка совершенно не отражает не то, что лес, а вообще природу, очередной барак, не вписавшийся в ландшафт!
Too many rapid fire shots. You could cut out 1/3 and the impact of the house and settings would've been far better.
Too much artsy fartys videography that detracted from architects project. Shame.
It's even too distracting to rewatch.
Sorry, concrete and steel are not sustainable materials. Is it recycled steel?
house is amazing. as is the cinematography. the music & editing are really jarring. not in a good way
Stop being arty and just show the bloody house! Also what happened to “Local Project” change to Global project and be done with it!
I'm here to see the house, not your cinematography. There is no way i could draw a floor plan from this video. Please do at least a walk through or a floor plan so we can understand what we're looking at.
👍👍👍
I don't like to give negative commentaries but I cannot not tell this : you can"t say "every project we build is sustainable" considering the size of the building, the fact thats it's all NEW (not and old building that has been rehabilitated) and the giga amount of concrete used in it, wich is NOT a sustainable material. This building is not sustainable. I just have to say this so that people watching this wouldn't think they can build a house like this and consider it sustainable. A sustainable building is one that is small and adapted to human basic needs in terms of space (not overly exceeding them, and not having three unused rooms for occasional guests), using a maximum of natural material and a minimum of concrete and oil industry-based materials. Sorry but I had to say this, with all due respect. (Sorry for the mistakes, english is not my native language)
Is it possible to get videos about architecture that are not trying to be religious experiences or meaningless green marketing word salad? Can we just talk about architects designing beautiful homes without the absurd virtue signalling?
Just not the same level of architectural bs-ery when done in an American accent.
Still, at least he managed to work in a reference to “materiality”.
meh. seems contrived
