This house deals with the desire for a simultaneous contemplation of the fireplace and the sunset and with nature turned into a domestic object of affection. It intertwines construction and natural environment in order to stress the relationship with an oak grove full of family memories. 
House in an Oak Grove Experience
Experience diagram 
This land was full of memories of childhood games and adventures...
We tried to capture them all  and add new possibilities: a place to seat in front of the chimeney, a swing, a small aromatics garden that steps inside of the house... and then we draw a line around them all, a structure that would hold the wood sliding doors providing shadows inside and outside of the house.
House in an Oak Grove Structure
The house should be completely closed when nobody is home, and very open when the owners arrive to spend the weekend and enjoy nature.
This is a house that is bigger when it is open and smaller when closed.

The sliding doors provide shadows to the surroundings of the house to create areas of comfort in a very hot summer.
