The building is located on the northern part of Rua Francisco Metrass, a street from the 19th-century neighborhood of Campo de Ourique in the northwestern part of Lisbon. This neighborhood is composed of an urban rectangular grid, separated by ample avenues, and although it was planned for an emergent bourgeoisie, it maintains its unity as its life remains.
A private guest house designed by Heima Architects is situated in northern Lithuania, on a hill near a group of trees overlooking the valley and the existing water basin. Part of a larger complex of recreational buildings, the 150-square-meter guest house is designed to blend in with the natural surroundings and has a unique layout, with four volumes organized among the trees to avoid deforestation. This creates a close connection with the surrounding nature and a sense of privacy for guests.
The site is a beautiful private land of 8 acres which is a dense forest with lots of coconut trees, mango trees, Nutmeg, Teak, etc. Finding a perfect place for the farmhouse became difficult since we don’t want to cut down any trees on site. By making a grid on site, the form of the building has been achieved in accordance with the tree position.
