Construct a rigid geodesic frame using precision-cut structural Douglas fir struts. Ensure all angles are calculated to form a perfect truncated icosahedron that distributes weight evenly across the main tree branches.
Incorporate triangular, high-clarity acrylic mirrors on the interior surfaces to create a kaleidoscopic effect that visually expands the interior space. Secure the panels using specialized weather-resistant silicone gaskets to ensure a watertight seal against the elements.
Utilize a modular floating floor system anchored to the tree trunks via heavy-duty tension bolts and specialized bracket hardware. This allows for natural tree growth and sway without compromising the structural integrity of the base frame.
Finish the exterior with a durable layer of reclaimed cedar shingle cladding to contrast the ultra-modern interior aesthetic. Install a central, operable hatch for natural ventilation that doubles as an emergency exit point.
