Award
The Tree House Highly Commended by Civic Trust Award Judges

Posted on 17 April 2024

The Civic Trust Awards recognise outstanding architecture, planning and design so we are thrilled that the judges have Highly Commended our project The Tree House, commenting: “The end result is nothing short of enchanting, a testament to the architects’ vision and expertise.”

The Tree House represents a harmonious balance of architecture and nature, as visitors are afforded a unique opportunity to ascend into the tree canopy. The design celebrates natural materials like cross-laminated timber (CLT), bamboo decking, and timber cladding, which encircle a mature London Plane tree that has been preserved from the site’s previous use.

The pavilion epitomising a delicate balance between form, function, and community impact. It has multi-functional uses and includes a kiosk and a viewing terrace, to enrich and complement the adjacent park. Accessible facilities such as flush thresholds, ample circulation areas, alternative stairs, and lift access to the upper terrace, ensures that The Tree House is also welcoming to all visitors.
