Summertime II

With this small children's tree house on the edge of the forest, the idea is to revisit the primitive house from a child's point of view. What kind of house would we have wished for as children?

Probably a "belvedere" house, elevated to observe the distant environment while trying to play with its singularities. The tree house rests on a smaller structure, creating a sense of fragility accentuated by the simplicity and lightness of the whole. Contrasting with the verticality of this signal in the landscape, a platform below the house juts out perpendicular to the natural slope of the ground, offering a space for play and rest that looks like a hammock suspended in the air.

Behind this little exercise of composition, the office's primary aim is to reinvest the spontaneous, playful dimension of the architectural gesture.
