The project, Cloud, designed by SABAOARCH, responds to the unique needs of the client with the creation of a uniquely shaped room. This room is similar to the clouds which float in the sky and is supported by three trunks which branch off from one tree standing on a hill. In order to make the boundary loose, but still maintaining architectural intensity and a feeling of a substance for the place where the natural environment touches primitive architecture, a global image like a vague floating cloud was imagined. More images and architects’ description after the break.
While three rooms for “standing, sitting down and sleeping” are connected, and correspond to the spaces between each trunk, the outline consists of three curves which melt into the tree shape. It is an imagining where the boundary between nature and architecture melts and phenomenizes, the tree growing with time and metamorphosing into a room. We just re-found a representation of a primitive comfortable room in the trees, which is a gentle shelter for the living things.
