The company was commissioned by the country’s Yellow Pages as part of a promotion for the phone book. The pod-like café will seat 18 people, is 10m wide, 12m high and is built 10m up a 40m tall Redwood tree. The lighting creates a dramatic effect at night as it glows through the wooden slats. There is clear acrylic under the roof for protection during rainy weather. To get to the treehouse restaurant, a 60m long walkway has been designed. The progress of the project can be seen at the Yellow Treehouse site [**here**](http://www.yellowtreehouse.co.nz/#). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Treehouse Dining:** Designing and building restaurants in unique locations such as treehouses to offer new and immersive dining experiences. - **Eco-friendly Architecture:** Creating sustainable and eco-friendly designs for buildings, whether it be through materials used or the design of the structure itself. - **Promotional Architecture:** Working with companies to design unique architectural structures as part of advertising or promotional campaigns. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Creating unique dining experiences, such as treehouse restaurants, can attract new customers and establish a competitive advantage in the industry. - **Architecture:** Collaborating with companies to design promotional structures in unique locations can create new and exciting projects for architects and designers. - **Advertising:** Using unique structures, such as treehouse restaurants, as part of an advertising or promotional campaign can create buzz and generate interest in a brand or business. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoonish Tubular Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubular-treehouse.md) - [Tree-Nestled Bar Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stalk-treehugger.md) - [Nature-Immersive Tranquil Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treehouse-villas.md) - [Vaulted Structural Telescopic Treehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistree-home.md) - [Elevated Treetop Modern Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buitenverblijf-nest.md) - [Solar Powered Luxe Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baltic.md) - [Repurposed Wooden Shoreside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-house-by-the-lake.md) - [Contemporary Conservationist Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvascope-treehouse.md) - [Hidden Garden Timber Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-room-around-a-tree.md)
