Arbolar has been designed as an architectural response to the host tree.
The shape of the tree defines the design, starting from the bearing posts fitted into natural holes at the bottom of the tree through to the walls nestled in the branches. All done without any screws or nails that could hurt the tree.
Created using natural materials like pinewood and Okoumé marine plywood that does not require any special treatment. Olive wood has been used for the door hinges and latches.
This house has a rounded roof to respond to the strong easterly and westerly winds.
