"Nestled within China's Senbo Amusement Parks, a new architectural vision is taking root. The Forest Nests Treepod Project by Doarchiwow challenges everything we thought we knew about modular construction, transforming prefabricated building into an art form that breathes with its surroundings. These aren't your childhood treehouses. Each dwelling rises from the landscape like a sculptural organism, its steel skeleton wrapped in layers of wood shingles, weathering steel, aluminum, and glass."
"The genius lies in how these materials work together, creating structures that feel less constructed and more cultivated. They could be oversized cocoons suspended in time or nests woven by some mythical creature. What they don't look like are typical modular buildings, and that's entirely the point. Doarchiwow, a subsidiary of DO Architects specializing in high-quality prefabricated systems, spent years developing this concept. Design work began in 2021, with the 441.92-square-meter project finally completing in 2025 across two locations in Rizhao, Shandong and Wuhan, Hubei."
Forest Nests Treepod occupies two locations within Senbo Amusement Parks in Rizhao, Shandong and Wuhan, Hubei. Doarchiwow developed the prefabricated system between 2021 and 2025, producing a 441.92-square-meter project completed in 2025. Steel skeletons are wrapped in wood shingles, weathering steel, aluminum, and glass to create sculptural, organic forms that read as cocoons or woven nests. Interiors feature floor-to-ceiling glass, smart home systems, and curved layouts that maximize perceived space within micro-living units. A standardized shell enables efficient production while allowing tailored interior arrangements. A three-part environmental strategy combines passive design, active environmental technologies, and microclimate-responsive construction methods.
