Design Feature: Playa Del Carman Eco Village Designs

Original Treehouse Design Requirements:

• 3-4 treehouse each must accommodate 2-4 people
  
• Simple bed table to store books clothing etc.
  
• Sitting area
  
• Clear area around the tree for storage of travelers things
  
• Ground bathrooms
  
• Treehouse viewing platform to view birds and other tropical wonders
  
• Stair case access to the treehouses
  

The preliminary designs for the Playa Del Carman treehouses use the classic O2 Treehouse geodesic sphere style but raise it to a new level with its double sphere outer frame which functions on several different levels.  These include:

• Structural support of wrap around outer porch
  
• Support of palapa armature (palm frond roofing style)
  
• Outer sun shield with rotatable flaps which will help channel upper canopy breezes and aleviate the extreme humidity and heat of the jungle environment
  
• Double ceiling to help insulate structure from extreme mid day direct sun
• Provides entry way for circular stairway
• Dynamic visual presence

We are still within the design phase of the structures but instals are slated for next summer. Check back in for continued design updates!
