*거울로 지은 트리하우스-[remco siebring's mirror mirror on a roof]

암스테르담 소제 remco siebring 스튜디오가 설계한 'mirror mirror on a roof'은 마치 반사하는 트리 하우스마냥 지붕 위에 놓여 있다. 12살 남자 아이를 위한 트리하우스 계념으로 지붕 위에 올려 지은 이 구조물은 주변의 어떤 건물보다도 높이 솟아 있어 이 곳에서 마을의 풍경을 조망할 수 있다. 구조물의 사면을 둘러싼 거울이 낮에 주변의 모든 것을 비춰 기능적으로나 미학적으로도 건축적 이중성을 창조하고 있다. 

 

remco siebring's mirror mirror on a roof acts like a reflective tree house situated on the roof of a classified monument in a small northern dutch town, mirror mirror on a roof designed by amsterdam-based studio remco siebring serves as an elevated home for a twelve year-old boy. the cubed structure takes cues from the concept of a tree house, sitting high above any surrounding building amid the tree canopies, the views provide a bird’s eye landscape of the town. each facade clad in mirrored glass creates an architectural duality in function and aesthetic. during the day, the building reflects everything around it rendering it almost invisible when viewed from the street as the line separating sky and structure is neatly obscured. at night time as internal lights are switched on the dwelling becomes a glowing lantern. 

while on the outside the structure takes on a rather futuristic and clean look, remco siebring designed the interior using standard materials to create a stunning environment. the wood-framed walls are covered in sheets of top-grade pinewood creating a timber interior illuminated by large rectangular windows on each facade. the material selection further supports the idea of a tree house, using wood to allude to the tree tops, while a steel shelf supported three meters above the bottom floor level serves as the perch in the branches- a cantilevered mezzanine containing the bed. the addition features a relatively simple program for its single inhabitant- a bedroom, office, and entry space, each open to the other.
