![]() The last time I worked on the roof was in the fall of last year (2018), I was able to get the tar paper up and one layer of plywood secured to the rafters. It was time to start putting up the shingles. The roof frame has been turned and adjustments have been made. Making adjustments would have to wait.įast forward to spring of this year 2019 and we’ve finally made the adjustments.

Turns out this made things really difficult when trying to shingle the roof. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Tree House Part 11 the Roof It was going to have to make it work the way it was. Since the structure was already built, I wasn’t going to tear up the entire roof to make the corners match. As it turns out having the trusses fit into the slots worked for a few corners but not for a few others. I also wasn’t sure at the time how I would have secured them to the corners.īut I was stubborn and went ahead with placing the trusses to sit in the middle of the walls.

The idea is to build a hexagon shaped tree house. Click here to start from the beginning of this exciting project. My plan this year (2019) is to complete the tree house for my son. It has to be highly flexible and an able to be adapted to different functions and programs, and provide several benefits to the whole community, becoming the incipit for the requalification of peripheral urban areas.This is the eleventh article in our tree house project. It has to be outdoor spaces inclusive and open to nature, made of natural materials and low-cost construction techniques, as modular design. The school of the future has to be sustainable and, in the same time, able to sustain the new post-covid requirements. The modularity of the design allows for future school extension, different programs, different number of classrooms and also can be adapted to create different functions, such as temporary medical centers for emergencies or temporary residential units. The circular perimeter allows to block the direct sunlight with the opaque panels, and get diffuse light and free view through the transparent ones. This is possible thanks to the faceted façade, made by the alternation of solid timber panels and glazing panels. Where the relationship with nature is physically and visibly increased. The main idea is to create a school that is suspended and immerse in the nature, as a tree house, The building is designed as a ‘tree-house’ and it is distributed through multiple levels, where also roofs are usable and where indoor and outdoor spaces are combined allowing high flexibility for educational activities. Each module, of 55 sqm, is made of cross laminated timber and corresponds to an ideal classroom of 20/25 students connected by a central corridor. The classrooms are located in circle and have connections to the courtyards and the outdoor landscape. The Tree-House School is a modular educational center that can include all the phases of the educational process: Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary schools.Īll the required spaces are fitted into two rings: the massing articulation allows to create two courtyards and an additional usable roof. ![]() ![]() The schools of the future will have to be designed under a new point of view: rather then just considering criteria of sustain-ability, they will have to embrace the ability-to-sustain the new condition where the pandemic put the entire society in. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of designing buildings where the relationship with nature is reinforced and where outdoor and indoor spaces are more connected each other.
