Like natural spaces, urban metropolis offer a diversity of landscapes and territories that are favorable for adventure and exploration. They can be seen as hiking land. Today, urban hiking and a new form of peri-urban tourism are really arising. This is changing our perception of those territories and augurs the development of wider and richer uses of the suburbs by its inhabitants. The outskirts of Bordeaux have this potential of breaking with everyday life, offering exoticism and unfamiliar feelings right next door, the whole required ingredients for a perfect hiking experience. 5 to 6 days are needed to complete the urban hiking loop.
Les Refuges Périurbains (the suburban shelters) are a new public equipment for a new urban use. In order to embody and encourage urban hiking, and more broadly speaking, promote the (re)discovery of the territory, we designed, built and installed a series of refuges around the urban area of Bordeaux.
Refuges for hikers as in the mountains.
Refuges for those that would like to experience an unusual retreat in the middle of the city.
Refuges for visitors that are looking for an alternative accommodation.
Refuges with desirable shapes, all unique, between art and architecture, offers an unforgettable spatial and poetic experience.
Le Tronc Creux is part of this series of shelters.
In the winding inside of the trunk, 9 people can sleep comfortably.
As in mountain refuges, there is no light and no water, just friends and family in this unexpected surrounding right next to home!
The outside shape is a mix between a trunk – a natural refuge for animals – and a mechanical piece of a trash compactor – reminding the past of this area. The small windows and the wooden interior create a warm and cozy atmosphere while the studded outside seems to roll away at any moment.
