Global impact - The project aim to re-think the spatial experience of the timber habitat as we know it by providing an open and continuous living space. The interior topography dictates the different occupation of each area of the house. In time of standardized dwellings, we focus the importance of interactions between the inhabitant and his build environment.
Specific impact - Short supply channel: The pillars and the facade materials are directly coming from the project site. The chestnut trees have been cut and dried on site, carried to a local sawmill and brought back to the site to be assembled. Low-tech: The house foundations are made of rough acacia trunk embedded in the ground to prevent capillarity effect towards the house structure and to stabilize the house onto unknown grounds. High-tech: CLT have been us as a main structure to enable the continuous living space to take shape as well as the all house structure to be assemble in only 2 weeks.
