Olgga Architects have designed a nomadic house in Frossay, France that could be clad wherever it lands. This ‘folly’ merges the high and low-tech as such that the interior finish is smooth and stark in contrast to the more traditional external log cladding. Olgga Architects won the competition ‘Petites machines à habiter’ held by the CAUE 72 in 2006. They proposed a shelter is based on a wooden structure that is broken in two halves creating a radical spatial boundary as well as materializing an unexpected entry sequence. The structure, similar to a broken branch can be built-up, taken down, moved, put down, left behind or taken along, inhabited or left to its surrounding.
