Building of a single family house

About

The VC dwelling is meticulously positioned within a densely treed subdivision. A survey of the exact position and diameter of each tree was used as a model to determine its location. By a set of folds and deformations, this sculpted object manages to fit on its parcel completely absorbing the existing environment and offers breathing pockets between the trees and the house.
The pentagonal volume built in the middle of the undergrowth floats above the ground so that the roots of the trees are not damaged and can continue their journey.
Inside, the living spaces are wrapped around a core and benefit from an orientation and a framing specific to each facet of the pentagon. The materials are assumed and proudly reveal the constructive aspect of the house.
