hypothesis for a metal structure

the cube would be covered by a stool with 4 legs and an horizontal frame.
the box would be realized with for legs between 2 horizontal frames and would receive envelope elements such "Montantherm" (metal-foam sandwich elements).

Envelop material hypothesis

Preliminary study for a material issued from the trunk saw-waste.
The interesting thing is the effect produced by the different side of a same piece: one is sewed and the other one is still the curved trunk surface providing a very different aspect according the side you would see the building.
An other advantage is the very low cost of the material which is usually used for heating. A test should let see how difficult it is to get compatible pieces as they would be rather different according the place where it's sewed.
