You thought dining while nested high up in a tree was for the birds?  Think again.  New Zealand based Pacific Environments Architects Ltd. has designed a beautiful dining pod for the Yellow Treehouse Restaurant perched in a redwood tree.   The Yellow Pages approached Pacific Environments to design the treehouse, and PEL jumped at the chance. “The tree-house concept is reminiscent of childhood dreams and playtime, fairy stories of enchantment and imagination.  It’s the treehouse we all dreamed of as children but could only do as an adult fantasy.” The backdrop is a rise near the edge of a wood overlooking a stream. The eighteen seat cafe—10m wide and 12m high, with kitchen and lavatories on the ground.

 The treehouse project is part of a large-scale marketing effort by Yellow Pages to promote their services. The campaign includes a spokes-model, blog, live webcam, contests and more.
