Introduction
Tree’s House, crafted by Studio Bewell, is more than just a dwelling—it’s a testament to the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. From its conception to completion, trees played a pivotal role, not just as elements of design but as integral members of the household.
Integration of Nature
Situated on a 99 square-wah plot of land, Tree’s House seamlessly blends residential and green spaces, creating a symbiotic environment where inhabitants and trees coexist in harmony. Over 7 courts of planting areas adorn the house, reflecting the owner’s passion for greenery while providing mutual benefits to both residents and trees.
Living with Trees
During construction, trees were planted, growing alongside the building process until maturity. These majestic trees now envelop the house, casting dappled shadows and filtering sunlight through their branches, infusing the indoor spaces with natural illumination throughout the day.
Spatial Design
Designed around the owner’s lifestyle, Tree’s House features distinct public and private zones delineated by a line of dark grey brick walls. A central tree court connects these zones, serving as both a passageway and a focal point, offering picturesque views from every corner of the house.
Private Green Spaces
Courts strategically positioned adjacent to utilization spaces provide private green havens for bedrooms and the kitchen, bathed in sunlight and offering a tranquil ambiance. Dark grey bricks and wooden-pattern trapezoid fabric contribute to the aesthetic while minimizing glare and enhancing the visual appeal.
Eco-Friendly Living
Tree’s House is more than just a residence; it’s an eco-friendly sanctuary where humans and trees thrive together. The careful selection and integration of trees into the design not only enhance the architectural beauty but also create a sustainable living environment that benefits both inhabitants and the ecosystem.
Conclusion
In Tree’s House, Studio Bewell has masterfully orchestrated a symphony of architecture and nature, where the presence of trees transcends mere landscaping to become an essential part of daily life. This harmonious integration of humans and nature exemplifies the true essence of sustainable living, making Tree’s House a beacon of eco-conscious architecture.
