Inspired by the provisional logic of construction site offices, this small weekend dwelling explores notions of minimal impact and structural clarity. Designed to leave the lightest possible footprint, the building rests delicately on its site through a system of steel beams converging into eight concrete nodes. These points anchor the structure while allowing the landscape to remain largely undisturbed beneath it.
The architecture is conceived as three distinct yet interdependent layers. The first is the ground structure, a skeletal frame that mediates between terrain and dwelling. Above it, the living structure accommodates only the essential needs of a family of four—spaces for rest, gathering, and reflection, stripped of excess and ornament. Finally, the roof structure is conceived as an independent element, hovering above the inhabited volume and emphasizing the separation between shelter and habitation.
Together, these components form an architecture of restraint and precision. The project reinterprets the temporary character of industrial architecture as a mode of permanence—an exercise in how simplicity, modular logic, and a respect for the ground can articulate a sustainable and poetic way of inhabiting nature.
