What shaped the architecture?

MY.CO is inspired by the Wood Wide Web, the hidden mycelial network that connects fungi and plants. Interpreted as an architectural and social metaphor, it informs a system designed to foster human connections, collaboration, and interdisciplinary exchange, mirroring the cooperative logic of natural ecosystems.

Architecture therefore evolves from a rigid structure into an organic system, moving beyond the linearity of traditional paths to adopt a fluid, network-based configuration. Within MY.CO, each individual ceases to be a passive observer and becomes an active part of the system: movement, encounters, and interaction contribute to “nourishing” the network, keeping it alive and in constant transformation.

1st floor

Each cabin is designed with a distinct shape and orientation, creating the sensation of inhabiting a treehouse suspended within the landscape. The variation in angles reinforces a sense of individuality while maintaining a strong relationship with the surrounding environment. To enhance the experiential quality of the private areas, the bathroom is located in a separate cabin, allowing for a transition between functions and the creation of a distinct spatial atmosphere.

Groundfloor

The ground floor is organized through a zoning strategy based on the five senses, which structure both the spatial layout and the user experience. A central area dedicated to sight functions as a visual and orientational core, allowing visitors to perceive the entire space at once. From this nucleus, four sensory workshops — materials, taste, sound, and scent — extend outward like spores, forming active nodes within a network inspired by fungal growth.

The material strategy is driven by the use of natural, highly textured surfaces that reinforce the project's connection to its conceptual roots. Through their tactile qualities, these materials evoke processes of growth, ageing and transformation found in natural ecosystems. Texture becomes a design tool, encouraging sensory engagement and grounding the architectural experience in the logic of the Wood Wide Web, where matter, space and human interaction are deeply interconnected.
