Details

The stilt house is an attempt to conceive a building in harmony with nature. The concept aims to keep interventions to a minimum. The ground is only disturbed for the foundations of the columns; no surfaces are sealed. The ground floor remains open. The building is primarily made of recyclable materials or wood. A timber-framed structure with a sandwich panel shell stands on a steel table. The resulting space is highly flexible and can be freely divided by the users. The staircase in the centre serves as a service unit over two floors.
