Inspired by the dense alley ways of urban cities, the urban tree house seeks to inject narrow urban alley-ways with green architecture.
The concept of the house explores the ideas of a standalone structural core and the act of climbing up a tree.
The level of privacy corresponds with levelling of functions and the use of climbing creepers aids in visual privacy and natural ventilation.
Designed to fit into the density of the urban city fabric, we aim to bring a new life to the forgetten alleyways of our cities.
Concept Diagrams
The central courtyard space is inspired by the Chinese Siheyuan.
It acts as an airwell and introduces natural ventilation that penetrates the living space through the porous green walls of the microhome.
The coloum of negative spaces doubles as the entryway for our urban tree house.
Transitional fotobukku born from original photographic work, fotobukku is the first attempt at creating a printed photobook. conceptualised till completion, the 78 page photobook was printed in a span of three weeks.
Having a communal space that doubles up as a sleeping area and dining area creates unique moments within the quaintness of a small home.
The swinging doors situated at the transitional space act as an indicator on whether the home is taking in visitors. When closed, home owners can also access storage beneath the deck steps.
