Tree Houses | Peter Pichler Architecture

A sustainable tree home proposal has been developed by the Milan-based Peter Pichler Architecture company for the Dolomite woodland in Italy.

A new experience to live in the woods with a maximum connection to nature should be created by the tree homes, which are an addition to an existing hotel. The geometry, which is built of local wood and has a sharp, high roof, is influenced by the nearby fir and larch trees.

The apartments are between 35 and 45 m2 in size and have two floors. A small reading or lounge space is located on the lower floor, while a bedroom area with a little bathroom is located on the upper level. A little internal stair connects the two levels.

The project is intended to be a tourist "slow down" approach where nature and the integration of architecture into it take centre stage.Future tourism, in our opinion, will be built on the link between people and the environment. Nothing more is necessary; in fact, well-integrated, environmentally friendly design may further strengthen this bond.
