The Yellow Treehouse Restaurant

By Queuebot in Architecture on Mar 17, 2009 at 11:07 am

Commisioned by Yellow Pages in New Zealand, the architectural firm of Pacific Environments designed this amazing treehouse/restaurant.

The concept is driven by the ‘enchanted’ site which is raised above an open meadow and meandering stream on the edge of the woods.

The tree-house concept is reminiscent of childhood dreams and playtime, fairy stories of enchantment and imagination . It’s inspired through many forms found in nature -the chrysalis/cocoon protecting the emerging butterfly/moth, perhaps an onion/garlic clove form hung out to dry.

There are more pictures at the linked site, but it’s still hard to tell how big it is inside.

How come cool places like this are never, like, 10 miles from my house? That thing is awesome.
