Abstract
Inheriting a three-room home in his home village an architect faces the dilemma of needing to improve living conditions by felling a pear tree. Instead, he decides to negotiate the project around the tree. Choice of materials playing a key role: the existing traditional masonry house is extended using a lightweight timber framed addition, which protects the tree roots and affords the home a contemporary alternative. The home is formed in two parts, although both are similar in typology: both have an enclosed volume and a covered porch area, balancing internal comfort with external functions.
