This is the client Odball’s home in a forest in Borneo. The forest is situated on a secluded hill, and Odball is surrounded by the beautiful natural setting of Borneo. Trees and rocks surround the home, and there is also a tree that is situated in the middle of the structure. The home was built around an existing tree as this allowed Odball to be even more a part of nature, but the tree also helps to separate the circular-shaped structure into functional rooms. The structure is essentially Open Plan, but the tree trunk, and the table that has been built to fit around it, help to make the rooms more practical and separately useable.
The shape of the home was inspired by the contour of the creature’s large oddly-shaped nose, and acts as a parasitic form on the tree. This idea of a parasitic form on the natural world came from the parasitic-looking forms on the surface of the creature’s skin. However, it does not look out of place in the forest setting as the colour was chosen specifically to allow it to blend with its surroundings so that for once Odball would not stand out because of his looks.
The entrance to the home is just a half-circle-shaped hole in the front of the home, with rocks and trees protecting the inside from weather like wind and rain. The rocks surrounding the home help to shield it too, and hide it from other creatures to protect Odball from intruders.
The structure has been formed so that the walls are at an angle, leaning outwards from the ground which helps to open out an arguably small space and make it feel more spacious and adds to the open plan effect. This idea of open plan is appropriate for this building as it is similar to the openness of the outdoors and nature and the setting that the house is in. This idea or corresponding and interacting with nature is an idea that was largely explored by Frank Lloyd Wright.
