# Circular Forest-Surrounded Homes The 'Woodhouse 2.0' Blends Seamlessly into the Scenery By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-02-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodhouse-20 References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/woodhouse-20/) & [anmarchi](http://anmarchi.com) The 'Woodhouse 2.0' is a futuristic home that's designed to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding forest area to provide inhabitants with a tranquil escape from bustling city streets. The home is imagined in a pine oak forest in Long Island and is characterized by its circular design that allows inhabitants to drive right onto the top of the dwelling to access the interior via a staircase. The shell of the home is achieved using a combination of concrete with vertical wooden planks that work together to have it blend in to surrounding landscape. The conceptual 'Woodhouse 2.0' wraps around a central courtyard, which allows maximum light to spill into all areas of the living space.
