    by

    Over the last two weeks searches for “forest house” have doubled on Pinterest, so we’ve rounded up twelve woodland architecture projects. Follow Dezeen on Pinterest!

    These popular forest homes – including cabins, hotels and private houses – are located in secluded areas, surrounded by woodland and incorporating large windows to maximise the proximity to nature.
    A stone-clad home in Belgium, built around a pond, stood out due to having its own underground parking area so that not even parked cars can disrupt the views of its natural environment.
