About Baomaru House

Embracing Nature Through Design

Our client sought to escape the hustle of city life for the tranquility of the forest. They envisioned a life intertwined with nature, only to find their dream threatened by encroaching development plans. This irony, where their pursuit of nature led to its potential loss, presented a unique challenge.

A Creative Solution

Moved by their plight, we aimed to showcase the value of nature through our architectural solution. Our approach? To highlight nature’s importance through a deliberate design paradox. This method involved flipping traditional roles: making the earth a habitat for humans and the house, a sanctuary for nature.

Redefining Spaces

Typically, we view the earth as a cradle for nature and houses as shelters for humans. Challenging this norm, we envisioned a world where these roles are reversed. This led us to ponder a critical question:

“What exists for humans, and what exists for nature?”

This query delves into the complex interplay between humans and nature. By contemplating it, we invite a deeper appreciation for nature’s irreplaceable value. Our project stands as a testament to the possibility of coexistence with nature, urging us to reconsider our relationship with the natural world.
