The story

The story behind the work.

Completed in 2021 for Lendlease in Southwark's Elephant Park, The Tree House provides WCs, food and beverage kiosks, community space and a viewing terrace around an existing London plane tree.

Cross-laminated timber, sustainably sourced timber cladding and bamboo decking carry the low-embodied-carbon brief through the pavilion.
