Miroslav Naskov / Mind Design and Roshni Gera: The Valvate is a unique concept of a forest getaway in France. The linear yet free flowing nature of the space is inspired by natural forms such as the valvate aestivation and the calm lake within the context. The petal like walls, much like the valvate aestivation do not overlap and instead create opportunity for varied and unique openings whilst also comes together as a single harmonious form. The linearity of the structure helps maintain a minimal footprint in a context such as this, yet extends high enough to capture the most breath taking views of the serene forest.
