The treehouse prototype was commissioned by a family whose house is one block away from the beach with a beautiful ocean view from a huge oak tree in front of it. The concept of “Learning Boat” is intended to create a treehouse in the beach context as a fun and meaningful learning place. On the one hand, as an informal learning space, it is able to accommodate various learning and social activities through integrating furniture and storage systems; on the other hand, as a learning device itself, it is designed with unique details that are able to foster children’s interactions with natural elements, such as wind, rain, birds, and stars.
