CHILDREN OF THE WOODS

by Michalina Rusinek

A timber frame building with dense columns typology representing the trunks of the trees in the woodland. Horizontal timber beams create a canopy overhead.
A combination of both horizontal and vertical elements introduce interesting shadows changing over the course of the day and year. The main design feature of the proposal is the timber walkway leading to the first floor spaces. With a railing made of vertical tree trunks, provide the experience of a treehouse (inspired by the Hexenhaus by Smithsons). A combination of glazed walls supported by the timber columns and solid walls (with ceramic tiles façade) where the privacy is needed).
