Treehouse Pavillion"A thrilling treehouse 'auditorium' in a woodland setting perhaps near a sports field, providing a natural link between the woodland setting and the play. Creating a place to share and experience community, yet intimate in design; this inspiring space is where the magic and fantasy of treehouse life becomes a centre piece to balance the competition on the sports field. Trees grow, untouched by structure, through the raised decks, allowing students and staff to experience the high-life close to the tree canopy. Eight raised decks at various heights focus centrally upon an octagonal treehouse."Treehouse Life present...An octagonal Tree House cradled by spiralling decks......creating an auditorium for learning and discovery
