The tall, tube-like structure allows for visitors to ascend up along with the trees. There are three levels which vary in transparency, letting light both in as well as out.

Precedent: 4treehouse
Letting the existing trees set the parameters of the project, the tree house was constructed around the base of four existing trees, rather than stretching between them. The project was an exercise in minimizing impact to the trees, site, and nature itself. A swing was suspended from the four trees, forming the structural foundation for the tree house. The result is a delicate balance between the slat wall enclosure and the swaying trees.
