Modus建筑工作室用鋼材和熱加工松木建造了一個神秘且具生氣的樹屋——埃文斯樹屋，樹屋位于美國南部阿肯色大學的加爾文林地花園中，這座占地210英畝（85公頃）的植物園，周圍有Quachita河環(huán)繞。modus建筑工作室在樹屋內安置了一個兒童花園，立面種植橡樹和松樹等當?shù)貥浞N，希望透過互動式教育讓孩子能體驗回到樹林的感覺。這個樹屋有著雕塑般的外形與動態(tài)的形式，隨著人們在場地周圍移動，人們所見的建筑形狀也會產生變化。

建筑平面呈飛鏢形狀，該建筑通過六對細長的鋼柱從地面抬起13至25英呎（4至7.6米）。通過將整座樹屋抬高，地表層得以保留，同時為游客提供了行走在樹冠中的感覺。高架走道通向這座多層樹屋的大門。該結構由113根“肋骨”構成——其中10根由鋼制成，其余部分由熱處理后的南方黃松制成。（熱處理過程主要是用熱量和蒸汽來提高木材的耐用性和耐候性）

所有的散熱片都連接到貫穿整個建筑的中心鋼脊上。鋼筋和脊柱充當骨架，一個垂直框架將頂部和底部脊柱與地板相連接，連接到六對柱子上。在結構的東端和北端，設計團隊設計了一些洞，可以讓人們清楚地看到森林景觀。東邊較大的開口部分被穿孔金屬板覆蓋，具有類似樹枝和葉脈圖案的天花板，由Modus建筑工作室的內部制造車間制造。

金屬網覆蓋了樹屋“尾部”的洞。金屬網可以防止游客跌落，讓游客與森林進一步產生親密互動。觀景區(qū)域可能讓人感覺不安，但這也是設計的一部分。

Nestled in a natural Ouachita Mountain hillside along Lake Hamilton at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs， Arkansas， the Evans Childrens Adventure Garden welcomed a new tree house to the grounds. This tree house is the first of three planned for the garden that will provide an interactive educational experience for visiting children as part of an ambitious plan to bring children back into the woods. The tree house uses a rich visual and tactile environment to stimulate the mind and body to strengthen connections back to the natural world， while accommodating the needs of all users.

This unique structure is a defining small project for modus studio. From design to fabrication they were able to merge their childhood-earned knowledge of the natural world with their hard-earned think， make， do philosophy. Because of their own mostly-rural upbringing， it is easy to take for granted their strong connection to the creeks， forests， insects， and animals of Arkansas. However， many children in the modern world are unfortunately disconnected from this type of play.

The underlying theme of dendrology， the study of trees and wooded plants， drives both the form and program of the structure. The 113 fins comprising the thermalized Arkansas-sourced Southern Yellow Pine screen creates a semi-transparent and an evocative form dynamically shrouding multiple levels of spaces for children and adults alike that refocus attention to the natural wonders of the forest canopy.

The mysterious form， creative play of shadow and light and sound， exploration of material， and adventure that the Tree House provides becomes a magical experience within the Ouachita Forest…easily bending among native pines and oaks.
