The Tree House

The private dwelling occupies a site on a very steep slope, dropping away from a residential highway. Road level is met by a closed, single storey, timber-clad façade, beyond which the building shows its extroverted nature toward the open countryside. The site topography leaves the upper, living floor mid-way up to the canopy of mature woodland surrounding the property.

Considerable reinforce concrete works were required to retain the existing roadway and bring the structure down to bearing strata. Various materials and constructions were adopted to allow the Architectural aspirations to be realised throughout the building.
