Treehouse in Bretagne

Treehouse in Bretagne

Nature has shaped this wonderful project. This treehouse is located near the coast on sandy soil, and a construction of screwed poles with a beam column system has proven to be effective on this terrain.

The poles are placed as far as possible from the main wall to give the project a light appearance. Because the terrain is very steep, the cabin is between 1 and 4 metres above the ground, with the highest part facing a lagoon.

The ‘treehouse’ itself is a large cube of blackwood, ‘cut out’ by its surroundings of the trees and light. A basin has been placed in the centre, where the light falls onto the patio, around which the rest of the house and in particular the kitchen has been built.

Next to the basin is a vegetable garden of 150m2, neatly arranged on a terrace. The house blends the indoors and outdoors together and consists of small living spaces.

Thorstein

“We recently replaced the potted decked timber on our farmhouse in the Beemster region with Shodoshima semi-gloss from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban. With special planks 25 cm wide, it looks great on a farmhouse. A very beautiful product and great service from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban!”

”We chose Yoroi for several reasons. First of all, we like the Japanese classical technique used for burning the bamboo. Due to the burning technique Shou Sugi Ban, Yoroi has a fire class B and is maintenance-free. Finally, the black charred bamboo is a regrowable material and aesthetically matches our design perfectly.”

We have put together two Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban sample boxes: one for interior design applications and one for façade cladding.

That way, you can experience the attention, care and love we pour into each piece of wood yourself. And, of course, the beauty and exclusive looks the various textures have to offer.
