Single-family house in USA

This terrace in sweet chestnut wood features a series of transition spaces that allow us to enjoy a small oasis of nature in the middle of the city, gradually distancing us from the aggressive stimulus experienced outside.

These spaces create protective environments that project intimacy and comfort. People automatically relax when surrounded by elements of the natural world, such as wood; in fact, these materials have a pronounced effect on the autonomic nervous system, lowering blood pressure and stress levels.
