The Yellow Treehouse Restaurant by New Zealand based Pacific Environments Architects (PEL) is a stunning architectural beauty perched high above a redwood forest. Appearing for all the world like an enormous chrysalis grafted onto a 40-meter-high redwood tree, the project is constructed of plantation poplar slats, redwood balustrades milled at the site, and makes extensive use of natural lighting throughout.
When approached by the Yellow Pages to design a treehouse, PEL jumped at the chance. “The tree-house concept is reminiscent of childhood dreams and playtime, fairy stories of enchantment and imagination,” say PEL. “It’s the treehouse we all dreamed of as children but could only do as an adult fantasy.” The project is indeed magical, located on a rise near the edge of a wood overlooking a stream. The eighteen seat cafe—30ft wide and 40ft high, with kitchen and lavatories on the ground—is sure to be a hit!
