Reflects is a winner of an architect led design build competition for a “treehouse” pavilion that became the centerpiece of the Cleveland Botanical Garden’s summer exhibition. This design emerges out of possibilities for re-imagining the treehouse in relationship to the unique qualities of the Cleveland Botanical Garden’s “Secret Garden,” namely, that this site is without trees. Reconsidering the fundamental aspects of treehouse architecture in relation to the site transforms the treehouse into a unique sculptural object that retains aspects of its character that capture the imagination. As a point of departure, an abstracted gabled house archetype floats above the surrounding walls in suspended animation, offering panoramic views out to the surrounding botanical garden. To create the “trees” that the house rests on and within, reflective surfaces are introduced, and the house profile is symmetrically mirrored down, creating a series periscopes that transform the Secret Garden into a Secret Forest.
