Suspended architecture

2022 Florence

“Linked to trees” The project is ideally contextualized in a wooded area typical of the local landscape. The forest as an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and in contrast with the urban lifestyle.
Experiences of bio-architecture, technologies available today, respect for nature, become a stimulus for thought for a new way of living in the future.

Experiences of bio-architecture, technologies available today, respect for nature, become a stimulus for thought for a new way of living in the future.
An alternative experience capable of satisfying all activities both indoors and outdoors, taking advantage of and enhancing places like this, suitable for exploration, play, sport, picnics. A modular housing system that leads to living moments of both day and night life in the woods.
Main elements of the project idea:
Suspended architecture ": rise from the ground and easily adapt to the orography of the ground. “Compact volume”: minimal impact on the context, integration with the trees, whose roots lift the house.
Closed spaces, open spaces ": the terraces expand the internal space and the roof becomes equipped and practicable, creating close contact between the foliage and the sky through the walkways.
Furniture ": few and functional that make up and maximize the use of spaces. "House-tree relationship": the contact between the module and the tree through the ideal roots and the connecting walkways create the relationship with nature and the vegetation of the forest.
“More points of view for observation “
an open space on the first level, - one from the first floor, where the gaze will be lost in the woods, - one from the roof terrace, the place of silence and well-being in close contact with the foliage of the trees.
Here an equipped tank and solar devices guarantee, with the other storage technologies and supplies, every comfort necessary to start the new experience.
