I was fortunate enough to be one of the lead consultants for the Project Management company that undertook this magnificent project on behalf of the client. The Architect was Pacific Environments who had worked with for me previousely on a Fiji Island project. They did a great job and its one that will be remembered for a long time to come. Craige Mayo.

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.

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.
