Treehouse Concept

Project: Treehouse

Year: 2023/24

Type: Concept

Summary: I created a concept model and visualization as part of the process of designing a treehouse outside of my son’s room. He wanted something cool. I wanted to create something attractive and inoffensive. I also wanted to create a cool object that felt more complete and less hacked together than many treehouses.  My son wanted something similar to hanging birds nests found in Southeast Asia. The simplicity of a sphere in a tree seemed fitting.

Specific programatic aspects include:

• Netted observation deck with Hatch

• 3 levels for play and fun

• Use of free and found material, especially for the shell
