ULTRA MODERN DECOR

Treehouse Restaurant in New Zealand - Yellow Treetop Restaurant

The architects down under have come up with an ultra-modern design that lifts design to new heights – 10 meter heights, to be exact. Designed by Pacific Environments Architects, the curious, contemporary design for Yellow Treehouse Restaurant is a 10-by-12-meter split-level structure, constructed mainly of timber trusses. Set on the trunk of a majestic, 40-meter high Redwood on the outskirts of Aukland, New Zealand, the cafe resembles a glowing, floating lantern by night. Apart from its unconventional placement, the design of the actual cafe is an organic, tear-drop shape accessible via a 60-meter “treetop walkway.” Inside, seating for 18 awaits, where the gorgeous surrounding views are visible through the openings between the slats. “It’s inspired through many forms found in nature – the chrysalis/cocoon protecting the emerging butterfly/moth, perhaps an onion/garlic clove form hung out to dry,” according to the architects. This contemporary design is currently being built as part of a design competition hosted by the New Zealand Yellow Pages, which requires that participants source all products and services from listings in the Yellow Pages.
