The Tree House is a platform, promenade and community facility in the heart of Elephant Park which takes as its focus and inspiration the mature trees that grew between the blocks of the former estate.
The value of these trees was recognised early in the wider masterplan for Elephant and Castle. This project reflects that value through careful conservation and inventive design. The Tree House was envisaged by its architects as a hovering blade around one tree’s trunk. The design engineers, Webb Yates, embraced and enabled this idea in an efficient structural and architectural solution.
