A pine cone provided the formal idea for this design. The concept foresees that the pine cone-shaped treehouse is penetrated by a large coniferous tree and is borne by it without additional supports. Depending on the height and size of the tree, the treehouse may be fitted with a second, mid-level terrace. Access is via a spiral staircase which ends in a floor hatch on the underside of the treehouse. The façade is clad in cedar shingles and fitted with metal-framed windows and doors. Inside, there are two levels with sleeping quarters, a small toilet and the living room with a cooking area.

Forest moon of endor, the empire strikes back

Endor (also known as the Forest Moon of Endor and the Sanctuary Moon) was a small forested moon orbiting the gas giant planet of Endor. An enchanted world, Endor was notable for being the native home of the Ewoks, and being the location of the Battle of Endor, which would result in the downfall of the Empire and the first death of the Emperor Palpatine. Due to its proximity to the inhospitable Unknown Regions, Endor was a relatively quiet planetoid both prior to and after the battle.
Endor was also known for the vast amount of sentient species it supported, from baseline to exotic. This was largely due to the extremely large amount of shipwrecks Endor experienced; it has been compared to a "desert island" in space.

About Studio Dré Wapenaar
CANVAS-ARCHITECTURE, -DESIGN and -SCULPTURE
"Studio Dré Wapenaar works at the interface of architecture, design and sculpture. Sculpture is the base. Working with sculptures, presented in a three-dimensional context, is dealing with people turning around the work and being confronted with it. In working with tents and pavilions this movement is enlarged towards people turning and twisting around each other as well. It can be seen as a result of the quest to find out how groups of people and individuals relate. Tents, with the universal language they speak, are an excellent means to understand at least something of the chemistry between people.

The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane.

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a short story by Washington Irving contained in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., written while he was living in Birmingham, England, and first published in 1820.

A pleasing land of drowsy head it was,

Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye;

And of gay castles in the clouds that pass,

Forever flushing round a summer sky.

CASTLE OF INDOLENCE.

Kris McElman: Wednesday November 16, 2005, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery - Concord, Massachusetts-Today was the perfect day for a cemetery walk. It was an overcast, windy fall day with just a smidge of rain... just the way I like it!
