"If you loved treehouses as a kid, the
Forest Nests Treepod Project by
Chinese architecture studio Doarchiwow might just be your dream grown-up
escape. The modular, ecological structure lets you live among lush canopies
inside stylish micro-living units called pods, each equipped with smart home
systems.
The
Forest Nests Treepod Project is designed both as a concept for a future
resort and as an example of how buildings can be made with almost no carbon
footprint and very little impact on the environment. The design is inspired by
natural forms like bird nests and cocoons, reinterpreting them into a modular
structure that appears to be part of its organic surroundings. Each pod is
built with a steel frame and covered in a mix of wood shingles, weathered
steel, aluminum panels, and glass.
Beyond its striking design, the project reflects Doarchiwow’s goal to go beyond
basic eco-friendly ideas and work toward truly near–zero-carbon buildings. The
pods are built with lightweight, prefabricated components to limit damage to
the site and curb material waste, and the modular system reduces on-site labor
and energy use. Each pod is also designed to operate like its own environmental
unit, able to adapt to different climates and settings, from lush forests to
coastal areas.
The pods feature a 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window that fills the space with
natural light and views of the surrounding environment. Plus, the architects
cleverly hid all the technical systems in the outer shell, so the interior
stays calm and clutter-free.
The first
Forest Nest Treepod is already up at China’s Senbo Amusement Park,
but the beauty of the design is that it can be installed in nearly any setting.
