Located in a forest near Guadalajara, Casa Amapa was born from the deep desire -almost utopian- to return to inhabiting the forests. The terrain, with its rugged topography and dense forest cover, poses a challenge and at the same time an opportunity: to build without altering, adapting to the place rather than imposing an alien order on it.
The architecture is resolved as a stereotomic structure that seems to emerge from the earth, stripped and frank in its materiality. Its essential geometry is broken only to the extent necessary to preserve the existing trees intact. Over time, the intention is to blur the boundaries between forest and architecture, until it becomes impossible to distinguish where one ends and the other begins.
