Appreciation towards Dass for providing the following description:

The TreeHotel is an experimental project of architecture and design made by Studio Dass that addresses essential topics for the future of our society: the evolution of urban life into a natural ecological environment. The TreeHotel was built in the Jardim da Estrela in Lisbon, Portugal and served as a “hotel” during the Experimenta Design09. In the meanwhile as been touring through Portugal and stayed in Silves, near the river Arade, Leiria, near the river Lis, and was lately in the Botanical Garden of Coimbra.

Why a tree house?
A tree house is a magical place, a romantic hideaway in the nature. Micro spaces that are placed between the trees to play, work, relax or dream! Here we come with memories, new thoughts and through our imagination we achive to be observers of the world we live in, and be critical that allows us to reach new levels of discovery and understanding.

The inspiration of this Micro hotel is not architecture, but nature itself. It´s small scale  allows us to have an experimental vision of the creative process, to create and investigate new forms and features that are associated with this type of scale. It is an opportunity for developing new materials and methods of pre-production, saving natural resources. For this project Studio Dass joined up with biologists, landscape, construction companies, industries, and were outlined concrete objectives for this project:

Foment Sustainability
The project demonstrates a sustainable concern, not only just in its physical implementation, but in the ideas and thoughts which may stimulate and increase the attention of people to important values that can inspire our society in future.

Explore new paths in Architecture and Design
Encourage the search for new paths in the creative process and project. Finding new strategies programs (flexibility and range of functions), create architectural quality in view of its aesthetic impact (space, form, light) and context (relationship with the surrounding natural or built).

Investigate new materials and technologies
Development of concept taking into account the integration of new materials, or sustainable materials, either in structure, services, or on the subject, at all scales of project. Investigation of construction technology, operations and maintenance procedures that are simple, cheap and multiple applications.

Promote education and awareness
Creating an original project, realistic, with great impact in the city of Lisbon and its inhabitants in order to promote the dissemination of knowledge, and consequent change of habits in terms of architecture and design, sustainable construction, reducing waste, promote biodiversity and protection of nature.

Encouraging Industry
The TreeHotel is a project to be developed directly with industry. The creation of synergies to encourage industry to work together for your benefit, to promote research into new solutions and optimize production processes.

The project won the first prize in the Larus architecture award 2010; was finalist in the wood architecture award Prémio Floresta 2011; was nominated for the architectural prize Outros Mercadus 2010; selected for the green project awards 2010 and for the Tourism Prize 2010 in the sustainability cathegory.

TreeHotel 是 Dass工作室为未来社会鱼香所作的试验性项目：城市进入一个自然生态环境的演变。现在这个屋子也被放在葡萄牙的部分旅游地之中。

为什么是树屋？
因为树屋是大自然浪漫之旅的神奇归宿地。在树上的小空间能够支持工作，放松，遐想。在这里我们思考我们生产的社会，并将理解推至一个新的认知上。

这个微型酒店不是建筑，而是自然本身。因为小，所以可以实际操作并量产。这也是一个开放可持续性新材料和新生产方式的机会。Dass工作室和生物学家，景观师，施工方，制造企业一起合作达成该目标。

可持续发展
项目重要的不仅仅是实现，更重要的是观念和思想的激发，引起人们对未来社会可持续性的重视。在建筑和设计进行新探索具体体现在：新战略计划（灵活性及功能性），建筑质量，外形美观（空间，形式，重量），关联（与自然，与建筑）

促进教育和提高认识
这个具有现实意义的项目会在现实所存在的城市中将理念进行传播，比如改变建筑设计习惯，可持续性建筑，减少浪费，促进和保护生物多样性。

鼓励业界
这是一个与行业发展息息相关的项目，需要协同合作，大家一起来完善推进新的解决方案以及优化生产流程。

此项目荣获多项殊荣。
