Atelier LAVIT starts its project from one of the most beautiful and tallest oaks in the domain of the Château de Raray, France. The design of Origin, the hotel room that resembles the design of a hut is a real design challenge
Enhancing a 100-year-old oak tree? Origin, the sartorial wooden dress sewn all around the tree
Origin, a comfortable and functional hotel room built on the tree that is faithful to its inspiration, a bird's nest is a unique and customized project, a real architectural challenge and a meeting point between poetry and carpentry mastery

The Origin tree room, majestic and elegant is perfectly in harmony among the forest's centuries-old oaks as if it had always been part of the scenery. Access is through a platform suspended on another oak that is thirty meters high and features a thermal spa and relaxation area. A wooden walkway then leads directly into the heart of the wooden nest
A wooden staircase leads to the ascent in close contact with the tree, until you find yourself on a wonderful and wide 360° panoramic terrace. The octagonal plan organizes the space around the trunk of the oak and incorporates it into the living volume as the protagonist of the space
Once you enter the patio you experience a feeling of protection like in a nest, with easy access to the living area thanks to two large sliding glass doors. A cozy, bright and intimate atmosphere fills the space thanks to the large windows. The interior wall cladding is poplar. Each of the living spaces overlooks the large windows that overlook the woods, offering midair views of the foliage of the domain's 100-year-old oaks
