Courtyard Tree House by IMaestri Group: Elevated timber loggia within the tree canopy, defining the upper courtyard and forest connection.

Courtyard Tree House

The central idea of Courtyard Tree House is to exploit the quality of the exterior “room” as defined by the forest. Within these rooms is an entrance courtyard, and a rectilinear court containing the house.

Courtyard Tree House

The house is organised over two main levels, the ground floor is a mass concrete structure containing entrance and service courtyards and expansive terraces enjoying the protection of the forest. This is surmounted by an elevated timber loggia, which describes the upper courtyard within the tree canopy.

This elevated court allows these spaces to enjoy more light and air within the dark forest, with further gardens and decks contained on the roofscape, expand the experience upward and outward.

Courtyard Tree House claims its own territory, while remaining deeply connected to its natural setting
