Projects
Bert - A tiny home tree house for Baumbaum. This concept was created by Fei Precht and her husband, Chris Precht. The concept consists of a playful take on modular, eco-treehouses of truncated timber.[2] Bert's design revolves around a circular base, featuring modular cells shaped like tubes. These cells house various amenities such as kitchens, living spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms, which can be stacked around and above it, resembling the branching limbs of a tree extending from its trunk.[3] It is designed in a modular system, allowing for clients to customize the spaces to their needs.[4]
Recognition
Studio Precht was awarded Architizer’s Emerging Firm of the Year Award at the A+Awards Gala in 2016.[5]
The firms took first place for Best Architectural Startup in 2017 by Archipreneur.[6]
