Treehouse 2023




Software
: Revit, Enscape
This treehouse-inspired insertion reimagines intimate childhood hideaways through elevated platforms that support various postures—seating, reclining, and leaning—creating a semi-private retreat within the Ohio State University Oval’s naturally framed space. Blending playfulness with practicality, it preserves the spontaneity of the Oval by offering a flexible, in-between space for exploration, interaction, and community engagement.


Site Exploration & Selection
Begin by carefully observing the Oval’s natural flow of activities, identifying a lightly utilized pocket bounded by mature trees. This spot offers a balance of openness and enclosure, aligning with the desire for a semi-private retreat within a larger public space.

Contextual Sensitivity:
Respect the Oval’s dynamic character by creating an insertion that minimally disrupts its diverse uses. The treehouse installation is designed to integrate with existing trees and terrain, preserving the site’s organic qualities and maintaining the free-form nature of the surrounding lawn.

Nostalgic & Flexible Design: 
Draw inspiration from childhood hideaways to spark curiosity and playfulness. Incorporate elevated platforms at varying levels, allowing for multiple postures—sitting, reclining, and leaning—to encourage spontaneous interactions and foster an evolving, ever-adaptable spatial experience.



Community Engagement & Imagination:

Recognize that the Oval thrives on impromptu gatherings, performances, and collaborations. By offering a structure that is visually striking yet open-ended in function, the treehouse approach supports creativity, invites exploration, and enriches the communal spirit already present in the Oval.
