Architecture bends to the beauty of the trees. If there are those who have thought of creating houses as living organisms that integrate with trees, the London studio 6a Architects, for the new extension of the house of architecture critic Rowan Moore, he created a wooden structure that curves around an existing tree in the garden.
Not only tree houses, ma houses around the trees. The extension was designed to provide a new ground floor bedroom and bathroom for this house, which is a merger of two houses built in 1830.
A corridor allows access to Moore's wife, who uses a wheelchair. It connects the main hall of the existing building with the bedroom and bathroom of the new extension. The exterior of the hotel is covered with reclaimed wood, while the interior wall panels were painted white to create the impression of larger spaces.
Some glass doors open to the outside space. The house curves around the central tree that dominates the garden, while the external walls recall its trunk and the rest of the garden. The extension aims at merge with the surrounding environment and provides spaces that open towards it, giving the impression of being larger than them.
