PROSPECT PARK TREEHOUSE COMMUNITY

–

Thesis: Theoretical treehouse community in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The hand carved wooden handbook is for new residents with a lot number and property information. It shows places and activities in the park and has a map that highlights bike trails and public transportation along with a large scale poster that is placed in the park.

​

The concept is living a minimal lifestyle in the park for a year. Residents undergo training to care for the park grounds and work together as a small community to achieve sustainable living. They also support farmers markets and grow vegetation of their own.
