Treehouse

Daniel de Diego Barrios - Sara Enriquez Legarra

The aim of the project is to unite the concepts of emptiness, which link the project with the environment, and that of refuge, associated with both the tree house and the castles.

Emptiness. Emptiness is what remains in the ruins of the three castles, whose surroundings he intends to intervene. A vacuum generated from the stone walls that limit and shape it.

Whose interior has been invaded by nature without reducing any importance to the permanent emptiness that floods the interior. The void is shaped by the ruins of ancient thick walls.

The proj- ect proposes the replication in an analogous way in order to link the new project to the pre-existence of the place through this spatial concept. It is proposed to inhabit the wall, creating a protected space that frames a central void.

The external form of the module follows a regular geometry, with straight edges, similar to that of the castles, while the interior void is more amorphous, following a free form that reflects the invasion of nature in pre-existing conditions.

Refuge. The objective is to propose a tree house. The imaginary takes us back to childhood, in search of a play space around the refuge theme. These basic constructions are usually parallelepi- peds, small-scale and with an internal free space that allows flexible configurations that adapt to the theme of the game that children choose each day.

This conception around the idea of the tree house is the one that leads us to look for a regular and basic shape and a flexible space that, except for the part dedi- cated to the toilet, allows an adaptable use.

But we also look for the sensation of refuge through the configuration of the wall plans. Through the inclination of those ones and the distance between them, different sensations of refuge are generated.

The house covering is done with fabric. This material is used to provide a strained light input and shadows can be generated, as the shadows of the vegetation at the interior of the castles.

Lokuluxka is an architectural office based in Castilla and Basque Country with an attention in the spacial application of concepts or theoretical experiments with sway in the different art and culture movements.

We think of the projects from double perspective of the local and the internacional. Lokuluxka is setup by Sara Enríquez and Daniel de Diego.
