brown hill creek
behind
Willawilla is a park and a watercourse in South Australia in the Kaurna language, mostly known as the Brown Hill Creek. The park is 510,000 square meters in size. The Brownhill name is to describe the hills to the north of creek, traditionally called as Wirraparinga by the Indigenous Kaurna people meaning scrubby place by water. Water flows from Adelaide Hills throughout the south side of Adelaide suburban areas and is also a part of the Patawalonga River catchment. It is one of the main watercourses running through the Mitcham District, flowing around Crafers and to the north west direction out of the hills. On the western side, the creek climbs to the slope of Mount Loft Rangers, filled with native vegetations.
timeline

LIVING WITH NATURE
08
Immersing into nature has positively effects people’s lives and wellbeing. Living in the constant busy environment we’re in everyday impacts negatively on our body and mind. The unpleasant experienced by the body can suppress our emotions in many ways, and being close to nature can help us.
1. Nature Heals Viewing the beautiful scene and being in a peaceful environment increases feeling of pleasantness. Plenty of research was found how it contributes to our physical and mental wellbeing. Significant impact had been found how nature helps reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Nothing feels more amazing than shutting down the busy and noisy city like being in the nature can. The sounds of birds singing and the wind rustling through the leaves of trees bring us back to serenity and feeling of calm. In many ways, living with nature can benefits our daily lives.
2. Feeling of Connected Mentally we become disconnected due to the embedded living in man made world. Having a connection with nature is beneficial as we’re able to feel calm and collected whenever being around nature. Eventually, we will become aware that we are a part of nature as well.
Viewing natural beauty; either in presence or online associates our brain with happy thoughts and energy. That being said, any kind of exposure to nature benefits us physically and mentally, as well as boosting positive emotions. Thus, it’s always a good idea to live or visit nature from time to time.

CHOSEN TREE on site chosen trees
BLUE GUM WOODLAND TREE APPROXIMATE HEIGHT: 15-20M
DESIGN
The trees that I chose are 2 Blue Gum Trees that are approximately 40 metres apart to each other. I specifically chose these because Blue Gum Tree provides semi-shading, which ables me to control the shading more through my design concept. In addition, both trees are surrounded by other Blue Gum Trees which gives additional shading to the site.

DESIGN THOUGHTS
Few trial sketches were made for the concept drawing and the drawing above was the final formation found. The original sketch of the leaf was derived from the Eucalyptus Cinerea-- one of the many eycalyptus.

CONCEPT
C O N C E P T D R A W I N G 11
S A F A R I
Leucadendron “Safari Sunset”, also known as the Cone Bush is a small flowering plant commonly grown in South Africa. It is a small multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with long stems that can grow over 1-meter tall.
S U N S E T
This type of plant is known to be a dense inflorescence in which flowers are arranged on a main branch that holds up the plant. The branch is attached to the roots which anchors into the soil deeply.
I chose to use the plant’s structure as an inspiration to include into my design because of the design similarities, in which my model was designed in an “inflorescence” or clustered way.

O F D E S I G N
1 3
From a cluster of the plant, a simplified structure was formed - 8 poles connected to the main thicker structure which acts as the “branch” to support the whole construction.
03
STRUCTURE
4 of the structures were used to maximise the support needed by the treehouse. Extra 8 beams were also added beneath the balcony for extra sure. The treehouse is being fully supported only by the beams and not the trees as it will cause harm to the trees in the foreseen future. Thus the structural beams can help to support the model in a long period of time.

Community Pods 4 community pods placed for variety activies for the community.
To form a community center, additional of 4 similar treehouse models were added into the site. In between each houses has a hanging bridge that connects one house to the other, allowing people to easily visit each other. Additionally, a bridge that extends further out from the site to the top of the water stream is added that “hugs” the community center. It is accessible for people to enjoy a beautiful nature view in between the trees. In between the treehouses are 4 community space that acts as a lounge area that allows everyone who stays to use as a relaxation space or eating space.
Hanging Bridge Placed between each treehouses to allow community to easily go to each other’s treehouse
Bridge Hangsover past the site onto the water stream and between the trees
The features were added to allow community to further socialise with one another, making their bond to be stronger while enjoying the beautiful nature space.
