Welcome to Forest Float, our latest rural architecture project: a treehouse that seamlessly blends the tranquility of a teahouse with the cozy comfort of a small-scale vacation house. Perched amidst the lush canopy in Huangshan Resort, this unique structure offers a serene retreat where guests can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our project aims to offer a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing getaway, inviting people to reconnect with nature in a unique setting.

The design is inspired by the nostalgic childhood treehouse we all loved, combined with the allure of a mysterious dream where we can escape from the everyday. Featuring a stunning curved woven bamboo surface, the treehouse resembles a cocoon gently nestled among the branches, evoking the image of an alien ship floating in the forest. With its hanging structure, the treehouse achieves a light and elegant presence, flowing seamlessly atop the treetops.

Forest Float uses materials sourced locally from Huangshan, a major bamboo-producing region, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and regional authenticity.
