"Doarchiwow's Forest Nests Treepod Project is a modular ecological dwelling concept conceived as both a resort prototype and a model for near-zero-carbon, low-impact construction. The series reimagines the treehouse typology as a vertical, nature-integrated community adaptable to diverse environments, from coastal zones to urban forests in China's Rizhao and Wuhan. The architectural language of Forest Nests draws from bird nests, cocoons, and other biological structures, translating them into a modular system of fluid geometries."
"Each pod features a steel framework wrapped in wood shingles, weathering steel plates, aluminum panels, and glass. This synthesis allows the prefabricated units to appear as if they have grown organically within the landscape. all images by © Liang Shan, unless stated otherwise Forest Nests Treepod organic forms are shaped by modular logic Digital fabrication and parametric modeling enable the realization of the Forest Nests's complex, curvilinear volumes."
Doarchiwow's Forest Nests Treepod reimagines the treehouse as a vertical, nature-integrated community adaptable to coastal zones and urban forests in Rizhao and Wuhan. The modular pods use a steel framework wrapped in wood shingles, weathering steel, aluminum panels, and glass to produce organic, cocoon-like forms. Digital fabrication and parametric modeling enable complex curvilinear volumes while concealing technical and service systems within the structural shell. A 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window frames natural light and expansive views. Pods function as micro-living units with smart home systems and digital networks, aiming for near‑zero‑carbon, low‑impact prefabricated construction.
