The Tree House
Resultados
Concurso de arquitectura y diseño
Para muchos The Tree House ha sido una de las primeras construcciones autogestionadas. En este concurso vamos a explorar la relación entre la casa y el árbol, y como esos dos elementos pueden generar un dialogo.
Rescatamos ese primer impulso natural de construir una casa en un árbol para tener la posibilidad de revisitarlo con más herramientas. Con una nueva conciencia sobre los cambios que la sociedad necesita gestionar.
Hay un test de personalidad que se llama “la casa, el árbol y la persona” donde se estudian las técnicas de representación en relación a la persona ( En ingles test HTP ), si bien es muy interesante, lo que buscamos en este concurso es que se exploren las relaciones entre estos elementos y se innove.

The circumstance of the pandemic has made us particularly concerned with the search for a contact with the natural world outside the windows of our homes and with the importance of exploiting small spaces which, if well organized, can accompany everyday life with success. This international competition has allowed us to give a form to a temporary accommodation that re-establishes precisely the contact with nature, with the scent of resin, the calls of birds and the green colors of the forest floor, while ensuring protection and comfort.
The common thread that guided the approach to the project was the emotional value and the childlike appeal of the tree house theme. We have, therefore, recreated a childlike atmosphere, full of the sense of exploration and wonder typical of those years, looking for a strong relationship with the natural element. The tree is placed at the center of the plan and allows you to move between the rooms by climbing on it.
The tree house takes its shape through the encounter of three modules that appear as the essentiality of the archetypal form of the mountain dwelling and that acquire complexity in the relationship between them. For the cladding of the facades, it was decided to use two different types of wood essence to narrate this compositional choice. The intersection among the house modules give birth to specific domestic spaces: on the first floor it becomes a generous shower, on the second floor it generates the equipped kitchen, core of the living space, while on the last floor, it evolves in a built-in wardrobe for personal belongings.
Moreover, the specific relation among the interior spaces is also reflected towards the outer world. Small and large windows frame the natural context from different points of view, allowing you to admire now the dense forest, now the starry sky.
