dark timber planks enfold retreat by baquio arquitectura within ecuador's choco forest
Briefly

Baquio Arquitectura's Irori Project reimagines a warehouse in Chocó forest as a retreat to connect with the environment and rehabilitate the endemic forest, drawing from Japanese architecture concepts.
The design of Irori Project creates sensory experiences through areas focusing on smell, hearing, and sight, with elements like aromatic furniture, unfolding beds for sound perception, and circular windows framing the surroundings.
The retreat features a reflecting water pool, outdoor bath within a bamboo enclosure, highlighting sensitivity to natural elements, emphasizing the importance of a more environmentally conscious approach to inhabiting spaces.
