The terraced structures of Sunny Hills are designed to be built on sloping grounds and along the short valleys or hollows formed on hillsides and coastlines.

The House of Trees is comprised of two major components: a frame which relies on a repeated and joining W design to create stability and allow for easy expansion and a number of small modular units..

This poster is the opening poster for the TREEHOUSING International Wood Design Competition that was run by FAO and DBR | Design Build Research School on the occasion of the XIV World Forestry Congress in Durban, South Africa, in September 2015.The competition challenged architecture students, professional architects and designers to develop innovative and sustainable wood housing and urban building solutions.

Rising from a forest of trees, the Sky’s the Limit is an experimental modular housing tower built entirely with wooden structural elements that aims to be both functional and beautiful.
