Content overview: “Casa Sima by Dosorozco: A Mexican Forest Home Built Around Trees, Not Through Them”. Casa Sima, designed by Dosorozco, is a residential project set on a wooded slope in Mexico's Sierra region that prioritizes the existing forest. The architects mapped every tree on the site before designing, ensuring no trees were cut down during construction. The house is carefully positioned around the trees, with some trunks passing through terraces and overhangs, creating a seamless integration between architecture and nature.
This approach not only preserves the ecosystem but also provides natural shade and cooling, reducing energy needs. The project demonstrates a growing trend in sustainable design where the landscape dictates the form, rather than the building imposing on the land. For homeowners and developers, Casa Sima offers a model for low-impact construction that respects biodiversity while delivering modern comfort.
