The French architectural studio Bruit du Frigo has implemented a project for the construction of a series of original dwellings located in a forested area near the city of Bordeaux. These cylindrical structures, called Le Tronc Creux («Hollow trunk») are made of natural materials and really resemble a fallen tree.

When creating this dwelling, the architects were guided by the idea of ​​a temporary refuge located relatively close to the house. If desired, a group of friends or a family who decided to spend a weekend in nature can settle there for the night.

Le Tronc Creux is a shelter for 9 people.
