Text:

Private command of a house for a horticulturist, 250 Sq m, on the boundary of a forest of beeches.

Scenario:

1) Realization of a "cabin in the wood", 3 floors high.

2) Plantation of a little forest of Maples, around and in the house.

3) Growing up of the trees with a co-dependancies contract.

4) Mainteance as the main agenda... for a fragile equilibrium...to avoid the suffocation of the house by the species.

5) Ritual of sharing time and attention / as a Rousseauism contract, with promiscuity, friction, mutualism...but simultaneously endangered in case of neglected relationship...
