The [camping grounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-tent) are transformed into this artistic space with the goal of creating an unobstructed view of the surrounding greenery. The firm scanned the area in a three-dimensional perspective and then decided the best approach was to look up at the treetops and design a structure connected to the canopy. It is also made to ensure that it reflects the greenery of the trees as it travels upwards, thus, creating a [conical shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teepee-pavilion). The tents can be used for sleeping, lounging, hanging out, and much more.
