Refurbished Treehouse Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Treehouse in Aspen Was Remade for a Charity Auction

— February 2, 2018 — Eco
Charles Cunniffe Architects refurbished and resigned a treehouse in Aspen to be auctioned off for the 'Buddy Program' charity. With help from the community, the studio used locally sourced timber and sections of transparent poly-carbonate panels to create a modern design.

On ground level, there is a large shaded deck for observing and resting that was created to be a safe place during inclement weather. The upper level features an observation platform for watching local deer, birds, foxes and bears. Wrapped with timber slats, the upper deck is a sturdy learning place with a modern design.

The studio decided to exclusively use local materials, allowing the structure to blend into the environment and provide an eco-friendly space. This treehouse in Aspen is connected to multiple nature paths in the ski resort town, making it easily accessible and a new tourism must-see.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Architecture - Incorporate sustainable materials and design elements into architecture projects to create eco-friendly spaces.
2. Community Collaboration - Engage with local communities to source materials and incorporate their input in architectural projects for a more collaborative and participatory approach.
3. Observation Platforms - Incorporate observation platforms into architecture projects to enhance the user experience with stunning views of nature or surrounding areas.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can leverage eco-friendly and community-focused design approaches to attract clients in the sustainability and socially responsible building sectors.
2. Tourism - Develop unique and sustainable tourism initiatives around architecturally designed observation platforms or structures in natural environments.
3. Charity & Non-profits - Partner with architects and designers to create unique, innovative and sustainable structures to auction or for charity events and support social causes.
