    “Tree House” 1 and 2

    PROJECT IN PROGRESS
    The canopy of the tulip poplars is very high and the scale of the trunks makes the steel poles feel like saplings, but the feeling of leafy enclosure at a lower level will be effectively felt by the proximity to the red buds. Adjacent evergreens provide a more solid side.
