The house is located at the centre of a beautiful garden. Each of the rooms is dedicated to one tree: the living room to apple, the master bedroom to cherry, the bathroom to peach, the guest room to silver spruce and the children's bedroom to walnut.
The house lies like a lizard in the middle of a sunny meadow. Each room has its own specific atmosphere and view. The design is inspired by the chameleon. Its eyes, the windows that rotate independently to observe their surroundings. Its skin, a polyurethane façade covered with a reflective film that gently reflects the colours of the garden.
The walls of the house geometrically define two different spaces in a single plot: house spaces and garden spaces. Each house space is focused on a specific tree, while the garden spaces cannot be seen from inside the home.
