Piil: A Compact and Elevated Prefabricated Retreat Among the Trees

‘Piil’ is a compact, prefabricated retreat elevated to minimize its ground-level presence and nestled between trees. The structure consists of a single leg that contains a staircase, services, and a sports equipment store wrapped in hit-and-miss pine cladding. The raised accommodation level features a King-size bed, two working tables, a kitchenette, concealed storage, and a generous bathroom. The interior is finished in white-washed oak and features a mezzanine-level hammock and strategically placed LED lighting. Piil is well-insulated and features an air-source heat pump with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery for year-round comfort. The structure was designed to protect the environment and each unit was carefully positioned within a point cloud model of the forest.

Piil, the name of the project, is derived from the Estonian word “piiluma”, which means “peeking” or “looking”. Interestingly, it also sounds like the English word “peel”. This is a relevant association as the pre-fabricated retreat is designed to allow users to peel away the stress of everyday life and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the forest.
