Text description provided by the architects. Sitting at the far end of a terraced landscape, estranged from most of its neighbors, this derelict house had been left vacant, nearly forgotten by its owner. Over the years, wild plants, collapsed structures and rubbish seem to have taken over the premises, making it a wasteland in the village. On our first visit, it was evident that stray animals, birds, bees, and palm-sized spiders had made this place their home. Near the edge of the site, two toon trees flourished despite the neglect, as if they were thriving to shield this desolate land and the wildlife within.
