Treewow Retreat is a Chinese village house featuring a round freeform roof



An irregular undulating roof tops this tree-house-inspired holiday home on stilts, built in a remote Chinese village by architecture studio Monoarchi.
Monoarchi, which has offices in Shanghai and Rotterdam, designed Treewow Retreat for a site operated by rural holiday brand Xband Club, in the mountain village of Zhongcun in China's Zhejiang Province.

Angled steel columns raise the cabin above the ground, so its terrace extends out over the water, and are clustered together to minimise disruption to the earth. The resulting structure is described by the architects as a tree house, despite not being built around a tree.
When viewed from above, the building appears to consist of three offset circles: the decked terrace, the two-storey guest house, and the central roof terrace.
The building's roof and walls are supported by a ring of 57 wooden trusses of varying lengths, resulting in an eave that constantly changes height as it encircles the guest room. This shifting form provides unique views from windows positioned at different points in the wooden shell.
