The House in the Trees

Property Description

This exclusive property is nestled in its own oak forest on the outskirts of Auch. Approached by a private driveway, the property emerges from the forest as a subtle blend of wood and glass. Elevated walkways invite you to the terraces and the pool. Absolute privacy and isolation just minutes from the historic capital of the Gers. The house was intended to have minimal impact on the surrounding environment and in the spirit of Glenn Murcutt “touches the earth lightly”. Built on stilts  it blends beautifully with the vegetation thanks to its wooden-clad facades. Glazed on all sides, with greeny-blue light, you have the impression of a living with the trees. The balconies and terraces allow you to escape to the garden and offer a view of the Pyrenees. With its open-plan design, the property offers great spatial fluidity. The property was built in 2003  and won the Midi Pyrénées Archiecture prize.
