Yvyra Roga

Tree-house, Guaraní-ish: a cabin that lets the tree keep the title.

Vision

[ 01 / 08 ]

Yvyra Roga — roughly “tree house” in a Guaraní-inflected register — is a modern elevated timber cabin organised around a living trunk. The tree is not decoration bolted on after the fact: it passes through the lower deck and the roof overhang, and the architecture is drawn to clear it, shade under it, and stay structurally independent of it.

A cantilevered wood volume on stilts, a generous lower deck with fire and table, an open-riser stair, black metal posts and wire-mesh rails — forest luxury without claiming to be a built work yet.

This page is a design foundation: massing, programme, material language, and a CadQuery concept pack (STEP/STL). It is not a permit set, not a structural calculation package, and not evidence that a cabin has been built on site.

Design principles

[ 4 BINDING ]
  1. 01

    Tree keeps title Ø clearance

    The trunk is a living vertical that the deck and roof open around. Architecture never clamps the bark; clearance rings and independent stilts are mandatory.

  2. 02

    Two horizons deck + cabin

    Lower social deck (fire, picnic, arrival) under the canopy; upper enclosed cabin for sleep / studio. Circulation is an open-riser timber stair, not a sealed tube.

  3. 03

    Timber primary, metal quiet wood / black steel

    Vertical wood siding, flat overhanging roof, wood stilts and decking. Black metal posts, handrails, and wire mesh as the secondary grammar — thin, readable, not ornamental chrome.

  4. 04

    Honest concept CAD sellable pack

    CadQuery solids document envelope and tree interface for clients and collaborators. Sold as a concept design pack with RFQ checkout — never as as-built or engineered drawings.

Programme

[ STUDIO / CABIN ]

Envelope targets (adjust ±20% to site tree and topography): cabin roughly 6.0 × 4.0 × 3.0 m clear volume; lower deck roughly 10 × 8 m; cabin floor ~2.8 m above deck. Programme is deliberately light:

ZoneRoleNotes
Upper cabinSleep / studio / retreatVertical siding; corner glazing; clerestory; flat overhang roof
Lower deckArrive, gather, cook-fireTree cutout; fire pit; picnic table; mesh rails
StairDeck ↔ cabinOpen risers; wood treads; black post + mesh rail
GroundApproachPavers path under stilts; mulch / forest floor retained

Structure & tree interface

[ TIMBER STILTS ]

Primary structure is a timber stilt grid carrying the cabin box and a separate deck platform. The living tree is modelled in concept CAD as a cylinder with boolean clearance through deck and roof — a diagram of non-contact, not a claim about root architecture or wind load sharing.

Cantilever language follows the reference: the elevated volume overhangs toward the trunk; stilts take gravity; the tree takes only the space we leave it. Any build would require arborist survey, geotech, and a licensed structural engineer — none of which this foundation substitutes.

AI / concept disclosure: Reference plate is a Pinterest-style image used as design language. Concept CAD was generated with CadQuery 2.8 (ElectroIllustrator venv) as illustrative solids. Visualizations and massing are AI-assisted / parametric concept studies — not built works, not surveyed, not code-checked.

Open questions

[ 6 GATES ]
  1. Q1

    Site tree survey — species, DBH, health, root plate, wind exposure. Master gate. pending

  2. Q2

    Geotech + footing strategy under stilts without damaging roots. pending

  3. Q3

    Structural engineer package — stilts, cantilever, rail loads, snow/wind if applicable. unstarted

  4. Q4

    Fire strategy — deck fire pit clearances, egress, local cabin codes. pending

  5. Q5

    Material sourcing — local hardwood vs plantation softwood; termite / moisture detailing. pending

  6. Q6

    Client programme lock — overnight cabin vs day studio; wet room yes/no. pending

Bottom line

[ 08 / 08 ]

A clear, sellable design foundation for an elevated timber cabin that orbits a living tree — honest about reference imagery, parametric concept CAD, and the engineering gates still open before any build claim.
