Casa Flotante, the treehouse surrounded by nature

-
Giulia Guido

Realized in one of the greenest areas of Mexico City, the Casa Flotante is absolutely the flagship project of the architectural studio Talleresque. 

As can be understood from its name, which translated means Floating House, this house was built on a raised base that lifts the house off the ground, giving the feeling that it is floating through the forest, an effect that is emphasized at night and the house turns into a sort of lantern in the dark. 

All the spaces in the house develop vertically starting from the living room, passing through the study and ending with the bedroom on the top floor, and connecting them is an open-air staircase that envelops the structure in its entirety, almost protecting it. 

The particularity of the Casa Flotante is the almost exclusive use of wood and glass. This choice allows the structure to blend in with the surrounding environment having the least possible impact on the landscape, but at the same time allows the tenants to enjoy 360 degrees of nature and live in contact with it. 

The Casa Flotante is the perfect place to spend a stay surrounded by greenery but not too far from the city.
