topview began as a question: what is the simplest geometry that lets a circle be built from straight beams? The answer was a hexagon — six equal triangles of two-metre planks, assembled around a living spruce.

A pure wood construction, built from first principles. Clad in horizontal larch boards, insulated, a raw table of whole-trunk slabs inside, a hanging chain. A room above the ground — every material evaluated and chosen.

Started at thirteen. Still growing. The name comes from the only view that reveals the full geometry — looking straight down from above.
