Children living in the United Kingdom’s Lake District National Park could become the most environmentally-friendly students in the world (without having to do anything) because many will be attending Elleray Preparatory School’s Treehouse School.
Designed and built by Robert Gaukroger of Kita Design Company, the Treehouse School comprises a set of green classrooms which stand on stilts nestled in the trees, and is built from recycled materials. Here is how Inhabitat describes the Treehouse School:
Each unit is constructed from a ribbed timber frame set upon Douglas fir stilts and then clad in English chestnut shingles. Connecting the three classrooms is a deck made from recycled plastic milk bottles and wood shavings, and in the summer the deck will be used as an outdoor classroom.
