Project Data

Tree:  Mangifera indica (Mango tree)

Total floor area: 18m²

Height: Main platform at 6m

Materials: Acacia auriculiformis , pressure treated bamboo, plywood

Design notes: The structure of the treehouse showed to be very strong, so the renovation mostly involved replacing bamboo which was inhabited by honey bees and creating a new facade. We used locally sourced bamboo which we treated by replacing its liquid sugar content by water to make it more durable and less attractive to insects.

Mango Mountain Treehouse was initially built as Marene's Treehouse in 2012. Several years later, it now has new owners and with it a new purpose. Two sweet young girls spend their vacation on Mango Mountain, with the treehouse giving them a perfect get-away playhouse with a view over the coconut fields and of the ocean. Even in summer the ocean breeze makes it a perfect spot to sleep.
