forest house

Wesleyan University
Architecture I Final Project (2022)
Instructor: Elijah Huge
Project Duration: 6 weeks


forest house explores Neo-Confucian theories of self-cultivation with an emphasis on the tradition’s inclinations towards rootedness and connectedness to nature. As a result this project, a spiritual retreat set within a forest for twelve recovering alcoholics, aims to reimagine agency at varying scales, from the individual, to the collective, as well as the surrounding and cosmic: the idea of contextualising and experiencing world(s) in both intimate and expansive terms.
