SIMPLE,
LIKE UNCARVED WOOD. |

Nina's Treehouse refers to the design and construction of a wood-oriented project next to Rotterdam's one and only beach. Is located in the old, yet historically and socially significant, Quarantine Quarter. It is a green "island" south of the Maas river between manufacturing and harbor industry facilities. A part of the city that reminds nothing at all of the rest of Rotterdam or even the rest of The Netherlands. In this piece of land where nature and art are the only priorities, took place a 10-day workshop, hosted by Camposaz, an Italian based organization who promotes "interaction between disciplines and practitioners dealing with architectural design while understanding the significance of the 1:1 scale".

A BEAUTIFULLY MADE "IDYLLIC PLACE OUTSIDE OF OUR BUSY WORLD"
|
Location: ROTTERDAM (NL)
Starting Date: JULY 2016 Status: BUILT Team+: CAMPOSAZ |
The project would evntually be part of "In Quarantine: Contemporary Hermitages" exhibition. The design intention was to create a hermitage that enters into a dialogue with the surrounding environment and to blur the lines between natural and the built environment, engaging the earth, the plant life and the sky through the procession of space. The only spatial limitations, the 3 trees that were left physically untouched but visually engaged leading to the design of a Y-shaped wooden "shell". While walking up through the different levels, one can experience integrated features such as swing, a 45 degrees bench, frames that capture certain views, a peace room and the last level- the belvedere, the platform that offers views over the Maas river and the big cargo ships.

COMMON LANGUAGE OF IDEAS, DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATIONS ARE TRANSMITTED REGARDLESS
OUR PLACE OF ORIGIN. |

The only limitations or strict parameters from the municipality of Rotterdam, were not to create an occupiable platform above 4m high and that it must have the ability to pass inspection as a "semi-temporary structure".
IT IS CROOKED WOOD THAT SHOWS THE BEST SCULPTOR.
