ROOT in Eindhoven has been shortlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2026.
The U-shaped structure of ROOT preserves eighty percent of the existing trees and nestles among the greenery instead of displacing it. The rounded form offers residents maximum light, space, and panoramic views, while also connecting the city with the forest. The wooden structure for the outdoor space, facade cladding, and interior walls reduces CO₂ emissions by forty percent compared to traditional construction.
