So modern treehouses aren’t new, but the designers of this project in New Zealand have crafted something that blends fantastically with its host redwood tree. The fungus or chrysalis-shaped building—take your aesthetic pick—will be a smallish restaurant built by, of all people, the NZ Yellow Pages. It’s currently under construction from laminated pine, plantation poplar and redwood thirty feet up a giant tree in a place north of Auckland. Getting there’ll be fun when it’s finished though: entry is via a 120-foot high treetop walkway. [Contemporist via Born Rich]
