Nestled amidst a lush forest of chestnut trees, Charm Green Forest Resort offers a unique escape into the heart of nature. The resort’s design, by Archiworkshop, seamlessly integrates the natural beauty of the site with modern amenities, creating a sanctuary where guests can connect with the surrounding landscape.

The resort’s name, “Charm Green Forest,” is a testament to its design philosophy, which seeks to blend luxury camping with the tranquility of the forest. The architects drew inspiration from the surrounding trees and pebbles, resulting in a series of unique luxury camping pods, built with plastic materials that harmoniously blend into the natural environment.

 

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by a parking area with stone walls constructed from stones sourced from the site itself. As you continue along a path through the forest, wildflowers line the way, leading you to the welcoming reception center. The center, situated on a high point of the site, takes the shape of a large triangular volume. Its suspended roof integrates seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating a sense of continuity between the interior and the forest. The reception center serves a dual purpose, welcoming visitors, while also accommodating a restaurant, a café, and an indoor spa. The center’s outward-facing side features an infinity pool overlooking the valley.
At the heart of the reception center lies a courtyard, a natural amphitheater descending towards the valley. From this courtyard, visitors can access a conference room and a cinema, further down a level. This design strategy allows the reception center to adapt to the terrain, providing a variety of experiences while blurring the lines between architecture and nature.
Charm Green Forest offers a range of amenities, including luxury camping pods, a forest workshop, and two treehouses. The luxury camping pods, reminiscent of veins, naturally extend along the forest’s gentle slopes. These pods come in two shapes—a circular form and a sleek, dart-shaped form—inspired by leaves and pebbles. Each pod offers a private exterior space and panoramic views of the surrounding forest.
Archiworkshop’s commitment to respecting the site’s unique character is evident in the resort’s architecture. The resort stands as a testament to the power of nature and the beauty of thoughtful design, offering a haven where guests can truly connect with their surroundings.
