I havent seen anything quite as innovative as this for a while....deffinately up there with Villa Savoy, Gaudi's work albeit on a smaller kiwi scale. nice one I think its great & even if it has come about from a Yellow pages promotion it pushes the boundries of architecture once more.

The judges had a nice time laughing at my plan.... Would love to show them these pics.... I would be making the same in India if someone would fund me for my business plan.

Look at how much wood they used, the amount of light pollution it seems to pump out at night, and the completely cleared woodland floor. Maybe that's asking too much, or maybe a massive tree-house restaurant isn't as environmentally friendly as it appears at first glance. I'd like to one made out of on-site manufactured cob and all recycled material, a live roof growing the salads they serve, passive solar heating, a low-combustion wood burning stove for baking, solar collectors for heating water, with solar panels (and maybe a small wind turbine) generating electricity. I hate to be such a kill-joy, it's just painful to see contemporary building remain in the same rut as any other style of construction. You can give something a 'green' look and feel and design, but it comes down to advancing more than that. Whoops: I just realized it was a phone directory company promotion project. Thousands of pages handed out to every customer every year of numbers they probably will never, ever, look at? Also not the most environmentally friendly practice to take up... Also, I swear I'm not the awkward, dirty, pot-smoking hippie you must be imagining right now. Actually, I'm just a kid who is tired of everyone putting green paint on things that are still black. And I really do find this tree house stunning. No one can deny how impressive and simply beautiful it is. Cheers.

You can rest assured that this would be a very green result as polution and sustainability are now key and must do's in NZ's thinking and planning for the future. It is a very positive shift and long overdue. Congratulations on the achievement. From what I understand, this was a “I can do anything I want to” project.

To prove it, they built a restaurant 10 metres up a redwood tree, and they sourced all products and services through Yellow Pages listings.
