There is a constant dissonance between what we were willing to do to live in the heart of an urban and noisy metropolis, and the idyll we keep striving for - a house immersed in green.
This pastoral idyll exists in many settlements in the periphery, and it provides a quality of life that one can only dream of.
Architects who hear the request to be surrounded by greenery, by trees that will simulate a mysterious forest that will be shaded and allow maximum disconnection from the outside world, find creative solutions.

This is reflected in a green envelope that is mainly tall trees and wild bushes that do the job.
This is more possible outside the urban ring of the heart of the city as mentioned, although even in the urban area there are few who can afford the piece of land necessary for this.
The wooded look

There are those who want to wrap their plot of land in a wooded look, so that the tree branches will be an integral part of the bedroom, living room or dining area.
It is recommended that the choice of trees be in accordance with the design and architectural style that characterizes the house.
The forest has a wild connotation, and there's no doubt that a wild look will do a great job, but it's worth remembering that the wooded look can also suit stricter and tighter styles.
hedge

Those who wish to maintain a slightly more organized appearance, and less messy, can incorporate a hedge of low, carefully trimmed bushes that will maintain a clean appearance, and behind them tall trees that form the privacy wall, but are located at a distance and form a kind of background setting.

The wild look will be created by using trees with drooping branches and those with interesting leaves.
The leaves will be beautiful when they are attached to the branches of the tree, but in the fall they will fill the floor of the outdoor areas with a charming carpet of leaves of different colors, with a wild and informal look.
Private forest

When the area allows, a part of it can be dedicated to planting trees in a density reminiscent of the natural forest.
It is true that most have a space limit, so most times it will be challenging.
But where possible, you should give up another paved seating area and think about allocating an area for planting a private forest.
The effect will be precise and impressive.

An intricate foyer or one that suggests lush vegetation will do a good job.
It can be a citrus tree planted at the entrance to the house or a gazebo that is a construction and has a thicket of vegetation growing on it.
The foyer in this case will be the opening, and will hint at the natural wilderness that awaits upon entering the house.

An allusion to a wooded outdoor environment, gives great charm to the interior living space.
Even if the tree branches didn't take over your window.
There is something pastoral about raising the curtain and seeing an allusion to the balcony and the trees that surround it.

When old trees are already planted in the area, it is strongly recommended to consider them and request that the architectural design take them into account.
You can create the part that faces the trees as a wide opening or as a set of transparent windows that allow you to look at the green they produce.
