Columba Tree House / Madeiguincho

In the south of Portugal our client had the desire to build a shelter where she could dwell within the two centenary Pine Trees located in her back garden. Considering the Tree´s strong presence we decided it would be better not to touch them physically. As a by passer who watches in silence the protagonists of a scene but still participates in the plot, the Columba Tree House arises from the ground to complement this natural experience. This project aimed not only to respect the character of this amazing beings by positioning our new building in between them, but also praise them with different visual situations.
