Shiver House is a kinetic “animal like” structure which moves and adapts in response to surrounding natural forces. This cabin is an exploration into the idea that Architecture can be used as a means to create a closer emotional link between its inhabitants and the natural world it sits within. In addition the project explores the idea that Architecture can be made to seem “alive” with the intention that this will engender a deeper and longer lasting emotional relationship between people the structures we inhabit.

Shiver House V2 builds on the success of previous iterations of the project installed in Finland. This version is designed for longer term use and will sit within the park of Louvre Lens for a number of years.
