Bespoke Treetop Dendritic Mycelial Epiphyte Propagation Terrace

The foundation consists of a CNC-routed dendritic support structure that mimics the natural branching patterns of the host tree. This frame is braced using tensile steel cables to minimize load stress while maintaining a floating aesthetic.

The primary surface is constructed from sustainably harvested cedar planks, integrated with mycelium-bound fiber composites to provide a lightweight, rot-resistant flooring. This base layer creates a porous, moisture-retaining surface ideal for epiphyte attachment.

A series of sculpted, branch-like trellises rise from the deck, inoculated with dormant fungal mycelium to create a living structural substrate. Over time, the mycelium binds the organic matter together, strengthening the support for various climbing air-plants and mosses.

The final stage involves the installation of a gravity-fed micro-misting system that pulls ambient moisture directly from the tree canopy. This passive irrigation creates a self-sustaining microclimate that nurtures both the living furniture and the surrounding botanical collection.
