Les Guetteurs - home of the owls for observers Bashny.Net

Wooden house in the form of three owls who look at all sides is also called "the Warden" because it was built with the purpose of monitoring the surrounding world.





The project "Les Guetteurs" was designed and built by a team of artists, architects, photographers and urbanists called Bruit du Frigo. This is the sixth project, which this time is modeled in the form of local ground owls.

The design is made from circular plywood, the facade is made from strips of curved wood and shingles cut in the shape of feathers. Inside the owls three levels, connected by ladders and several round beds constructed in the form of nests. The building itself is built on a pier with a deck and overlooks wetlands.

Supervisor and other homes used for camping, summer trips and tourists visiting Bordeaux. In fact, they are the visible part of a wider project. The idea is to promote urban Hiking as a local open tour in the fresh air, which is available to anyone, including the free nights in lodges. Each house size of 160 square meters has a unique shape and can accommodate up to 9 people.

As in other European houses for the night, there's no electricity, no water access, only beds and a common space. The purpose of Bruit du Frigo is the study of environmental quality in the broadest sense: not just its architecture, housing, ecology or landscape, but its perception as a cultural experience.
