Treehouse

I chose bird as my concept for my treehouse. I think they practically belong with the trees. They basically lived there; they build their nest to take care of their eggs there until they hatch. Another reason is that for me, birds have freedom that only they could have; they had the ability to go anywhere they like as long as they have their wings to fly. I wanted my treehouse to be a place where people could just hang out, bond, to get away with everything that’s worrying them, their problems, and just do what is relaxing for them like listening to their ipods, reading books, sleeping, talking and many more. In short, I want them to have their freedom and to be just themselves in that place.

Like I said, it would be a place where they hang out, so I planned on putting a sitting area, a place where they could lie, of course, those place should be comfortable, soft to touch like the bird’s feathers. The form of the treehouse may not literary look like a bird. It would not be a literal translation of a bird. I just wanted to interpret the meaning of a bird for me and hopefully it would translate to the people who would step into my treehouse.

Another characteristic of birds is that they are graceful. The way they fly is very fluid most especially that of an eagle and a phoenix so I planned on using slightly curved fluid lines in designing the structure of my treehouse, it would also form the seats and space where they could lie. I think I’m going to use the bird’s wings as the form of the treehouse because that’s what makes them unique. Their wings give them their freedom.

My treehouse would probably have different levels. The first level would be the busiest or noisiest area; that would be the place where people could talk, laugh, a place where friends could chat and laugh about something. The second level would be for the people who like it more serene, who like to be just sitting there, listening to music, to be thoughtful or just to be there. The third level is the most peaceful part. It should be the quietest because here is where people could sleep.

That’s basically my idea of my treehouse. Hopefully this idea of mine would work.
