La nature identity and animals are the best designers existing in the world. It is from this fact that some British architects were inspired by the construction of a tree house with a structure very similar to that of the nests created by birds by weaving together twigs of wood and other natural materials collected from the ground. It was born like this “Dartmoor Treehouse”, the nest-house built on an oak.
The unusual tree house was built using locally sourced timber with respect to the placement of the oak that hosts it, a tree that has been selected with the utmost care both to make the construction of the nest-house safe and to ensure that the oak could not be ruined by the intervention of the hand of man . Thus was born a long walkable walkway, which leads to a space in which to sit for rest in complete relaxation or play.
The project was born from the collaboration between the architects of the London studio Jerry Tate Architects and Henry Russell, who worked alongside a group of students on the occasion of the summer week of study of the architectural study of spaces called Dartmoor Arts Week, which took place in near Exeter, in the southwest ofEngland.
The chosen oak is placed along the side of a hill and precisely this peculiar position of his would have had a preponderant influence on the project, which was openly inspired by the observation of the work done by the birds for the construction of their nests, as stated by Jerry Tate, one of the project managers, who admired both the magnificence and the solidity and safety of the nests, transposing them into the creation of Dartmoor Treehouse. It was created by intertwining and combining completely natural materials to perfection, with the sole use of two mechanical structures necessary to anchor the house to the tree that hosts it.
