In the proximity of the Villa Ada Park in Rome, Alvisi Kirimoto and Studio Gemma designed a new hub for the LUISS Guido Carli University Campus. Surrounded by greenery, the building seems to dissolve into the landscape, resonating the classic tree house, from which it borrows its outline. Cladded in natural wooden slats and glass, the upper floor floats among the treetops, creating a privileged dialogue between architecture and context.Developed in two levels, the ground floor houses the entrance, a classroom, and service areas, while the upper floor an amphitheatre and two classrooms.
