Architect Ludwig Godefroy Reimagines a Forest Cabin in Mexico as a Concrete Fortress

Brutalism is an architectural style not usually associated with forest cabins, let alone one intended as a weekend retreat for a family wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of Mexico City, which makes the concrete house that Mexico City-based architect Ludwig Godefroy designed all the more striking. Nestled in a pine forest an hour’s drive from the city, the stark, sculptural structure makes for an otherworldly sight as it peeks through the tall pine trees.
