Q. What are the tree species on the site/region? On which trees should I propose a treehouse?
A. There are multiple shrubs and plants found on the site, although these trees are the most prominent natives of the region in and around the site.
-Yew (Taxus Baccata)
Yew trees are 15-20m in height and have a dark reddish bark. With strong roots they continue to strong tall irrespective of a hollow bark.
-Oak (English Oak)
The oaks on site are about 20-40m in height and have a canopy that is fairly open and widespread.
-Ash Tree
This is the most common on given location, they are 15-35m wide with a strong and wide root system. Similar to oaks they have large canopies.
-Lime (Tilia x Europaea)
Lime on site is 30-40 high and is home to many insects/ bug with fairly restricted canopy as compared to the above trees.
-Beech (Fagus Sylvatica)
40m is the maximum height of a beech tree has its branches spread-out with a dense canopy. There are usually truffle or multiple fungi growing at its base to help them in photosynthesis.
You can propose the treehouse in close proximity to any of the above trees or near other tree species on the site location.
Apart from trees, there are numerous species of fungi and lichens all-year round in the puzzle wood forest.
Q. Can I hang or build the treehouse on the tree? Can I design multiple treehouses or a single treehouse?
A. The treehouse or its design elements (bridges, platforms) in no way should harm or rely/hang on support for the tree. Structurally independent interventions are allowed within the given area.
-Participants have to design a Treehouse with a capacity of four. You can divide, innovate, connect and experiment with spaces or user type, though it should function as a treehouse, not as treehouses.
Q. Should I follow the SketchUp model for the precise tree locations and types of trees on the site?
A. The colour, number and type of trees in the SketchUp model are for representation purposes only, they can be replaced/changed by participants in accordance with the native flora and fauna.
