TREEHOUSE 2024

VOLUME ZERO COMPETITIONS

Introduction

We all have always yearned for our personal space, one that takes us far away from our chaotic and stressful lives; our very own home rooted in Mother Nature, one that reconnects us to our origins, rejuvenating our mind, body, and soul. We all aspire for a home that is not just an extension of our persona but is also an expression of our individuality and freedom.
Our Homes are the most significant architectural spaces through which we experience our surroundings. An intimate place that protects, shelters, heals, nurtures and defines our perspective helping us establish relations to navigate through the chaotic world outside this envelope. Our humble abodes are being redefined with every passing day, the world is fast changing so are the homes with it. With the rise of concepts like Smart homes, Tiny Homes, Micro Homes, Homes today are versatile entities – doubling up as offices, play areas, work-out zones, spaces for interaction and recreation, but at the center of all things is essentially a place to escape and rejuvenate our minds.
Growing up many of us have dreamt of living in a tree house, a fortress to protect and nurture everything we hold dear. An abode high up in the clouds, under the starry skies, amongst the tall trees, chirping sounds of birds and aromas of nature. A playscape for all our dear ones that fosters everyone around helping to fulfill our dreams cultivating a bond that stays. For most of us a tree house one of our greatest child hood dreams triggering our wildest imaginations, for the lucky few it is a memory that they cherish till date.
As adults, we continue to aspire for our very own Tree House, one that will fulfil our needs to lead productive lives. The Tree House is synonymous with freedom, independence, adventure, creativity, safety, warmth, fun, solitude and many more emotions aspired by children and adults alike.
Can we imagine our own Tree House, nestled in the lap of nature, atop magnificent treetops and under starry skies?
