Surface house
By Piero Vidoni
Being surrounded by trees provide a strange feeling; nature is something unpredictable, wild and undefined. Trees don’t have any plan about where and when grow, expand. The city is the exact opposite, everything is regulated and predictable, there is no space for surprising opportunities. The best example of what happen when we try to combine natural and human behaviors is a tree house: a living space that is a defined form in an unpredictable environment. At the beginning of my design process I tried to imagine a house that is capable of growing randomly as a tree, creating thanks to this uncertainty tons of opportunities for a better living.
Surfaces house The structure and the house are two separated identity, as a tree and a house on in. Temporary surfaced are placed according to certain volunteer. The living is organized according to a daily rout, it starts from the top room, the bedroom, and it develops sequently from that point. We can enjoy a 360 view in and outside the forest while you are walking to your breakfast at the morning.

The house seem vanishing in the forest in daytime; at night, instead, the glass is totally transparent and the real nature of the house appear as a sequence of different surfaces.
