Text description provided by the architects. Rooted Home is a 2 story apartment for a family of 6.
‘..A root evolves underground and functions as an anchor. Roots are the organs of a plant that are modified to provide anchorage for the plant and take in water and nutrients into the plant body, which allows plants to grow taller and faster.’

Some of the design elements we inspired by the roots of trees.
