The House
on the Tree
The space we designed derived from the relics of an old stable, over 8 meters high, with large roof trusses spanning for 12 meters.
The idea that guided us came from a childhood fantasy. The project was carried out on a construction site, where we built a volume above the ground: a metaphor for tree houses, built by nailing down wood and iron.
The main goal was to emphasize and make the best use of the large dimensions of the main space, destined for the living room, without taking away any space from the master bedroom. Examining the connection between this volume and the ground floor was key.
We chose a process that approaches the heart of the house gradually; an idea known as architectural promenade.
