Spruce V2, situated on the same site as Spruce V1, is a study that focuses on connecting the form to the surrounding forest, making it the extroverted counterpart of Spruce V1. Inspired by its location amidst dense trees, Spruce V2 emphasizes outward connections rather than inward contemplation.
The concept of Spruce V2 is extroverted, with extensive glazing and open spaces that allow the surrounding forest to become an integral part of the living experience. The central atrium of Spruce V1 is replaced with a series of outdoor patios and a courtyard, which extend the living spaces into the natural environment and offer panoramic views of the landscape.
Spruce V2 utilizes similar construction methods as Spruce V1, prioritizing a budget-friendly approach that emphasizes simplicity and efficiency.
Overall, Spruce V2 offers a different perspective on the relationship between architecture and nature, embracing the surrounding environment as an active participant in the design and creating a home that is both inviting and immersed in the beauty of its natural setting.
