The Outlandia Treehouse Art Studio's design and concept is heavily influenced by Japanese poetry and the idyllic peacefulness of Scotland's untamed Highlands. With its [locally sourced timber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenhouse) and labor, the building maintains a practically non-existent carbon footprint that is perfectly at peace with its surroundings. **Implications** - Despite its seemingly isolated nature, the studio is accessible by a bridge. The Hub acts as a common area in which guests can gather together to socialize or hold meetings and events.
