This competition investigates, explores and emphasises the importance of sustainable concept in Treehouse design as they become ever more popular, more intricate and more commercial. PROJECT: The program is to design an original Contemporary Treehouse pod, capsule or series of pods with the vision of being located on the proposed ‘The Garden Bridge’ across the river Thames in London. The Treehouse pod will provide an elegant and inspiring space for visitors or crossers to retreat, relax for lunch, diner, drinks, special romantic or simply for leisurely pursuits such as reading, drawing the cityscape or simply day dreaming short-time retreat for relaxation. Treehouses have a magic that stimulates our imaginations in any unique surroundings and posses an unforgettable promise of an adventure. The uniqueness of a Treehouse is sometimes based on the unique feature of the host tree or anchor points, which adds to that childhood dream or fairy tale of a hideout and adventure playground set high in the sky. It is also a space of retreat transporting adults from the stresses of everything reality to a world high up the tree top to be close to nature or an elevated view.
