Tree House par Architektur 109 Non loin de Stuttgart, dans la ville baroque de Ludwigsbourg, les architectes allemands Mark Arnold et Arne Fentzloff du studio Architektur 109 ont réalisé cette extension d'une maison existante. Structure en bois habillée de cuivre, la nouvelle construction se protège des nuisances de la rue en s'ouvrant sur le jardin. Perché dans les arbres, l'étage offre une fenêtre sur la nature et la vallée du Neckar toute proche. Sur ce projet, Mark Arnold et Arne Fentzloff d'Architecture 109 précisent: "The various spaces within this home are clearly designated: The ground floor of the original house is intended for the entire family, the second floor is for the children, while the new extension is for the parents. The lower, sloping garden level presented a certain problem: it is difficult to access from the house, and subject to noise pollution from the street. The architects thus grappled with the question of how to turn a negative feature into a positive one. The “tree house” solves this by allowing the family to live directly above the garden, and incorporating the trees and garden landscape into the living quarters. The distinguishing feature of this new building is its view of the garden and the top of the walnut tree. It creates a window to nature, opening up a resplendent panorama of the Neckar Valley and allowing an entirely new view of the surrounding countryside. A vital consideration in designing the extension was to open up a new dimension for experiencing the garden and the walnut tree."
