Hiker's Shelter

| Hexagon form on stilts |
As a child, I always fancied constructing a tree house and spending my spare time in it or go hiking in pursuit to discover new things.
This structure is a utilitarian monument which functions as a relief for hikers and adds beauty to the landscape similar to the post-war era.

The decision to elevate the structure is to prevent contact with water and enhance its views of the surroundings.
The five-sided form featuring hooded roofs extending from each section is intended to provide focused views and sounds from various directions.
Studio Weave is the firm responsible for designing this elevated shelter on the outskirts of Bordeaux. It was commissioned by Bruit du Frigo, which has established a series of shelter around the periphery of the French city.
It aims to encourage residents and visitors to explore the under-utilised spaces surrounding the city. it accommodates around 9 people.
The shelter is clad externally in wooden strips and is perched on top of arching pre-weathered steel pillars that recall the slender supports of existing water towers.
