Concrete and mist
Why such a hard material is the most honest one to build with in a forest that is never dry.
Concrete has a bad reputation in beautiful places. We associate it with the city, with the parking lot, with everything we came here to leave behind. But in a cloud forest, where humidity never drops below seventy percent, almost every other material lies: wood swells, steel rusts, paint peels in a single season.
Concrete, by contrast, ages like rock. It stains, it gathers moss, it lets the cloud write on it. At EDEN we leave it raw and unsealed, so the forest can reclaim it slowly. After five years, none of the five houses looks the way it did the day it was poured.
That is the idea: an architecture that doesn't resist the weather but receives it. One that understands that being inside the cloud is not a problem to solve, but the reason you came.
