The Pine Nest was designed as a minimal light wood treehouse. The structure provides a quiet space to experience the forest at a different vantage point, meditate or sleep. By using inexpensive materials and following a certain repetition, the treehouse was designed to be easy to assemble. A series of such nests would provide an elevated campground, giving students a place to take in the beautiful scenery by which they are surrounded.

Two 2x10 beams span across two trees, anchored onto the trees using Treehouse Attachment Bolts. These bolts can retract to allow for tree growth and thus does not harm the tree. 2x6 joists are aligned with 2x4 triangular truss members above a plywood deck. The envelope is composed of angled plywood members. They are positioned and sized in an alternating sequence to provide wind and rain protection, while still allowing air to circulate and providing openings to view out from the structure.
