The forest is a multi-level system, with life of its own kind on each floor. The "F/REST" viewpoint project will open the windows to it.

Layouts and drawings
The viewpoint is designed to be located in the forest area, specifically on its borders. The viewpoint will provide a view of the forest from all sides, literally. From the inside, from above.
Trees will be located as close to the structure as possible, so much so that some branches will "peek" into the windows of the platform.
A complex of two floors corresponds to one biological level of the forest. Each level is home to its own animals and trees, each with its own unique life. Thanks to the multi-level construction of the viewpoint, it will all be possible to trace it all.

An object in the environment
The site is located on the border of a forest and a field. The view at the highest open point unfolds 360 degrees. However, the object will only rise above the environment when it is young. As the forest "matures", the observer will only be left with a view of the field.
The concept is based on the ecological coexistence of the object and the environment in which it is placed. This way, the life of the forest, regardless of the viewpoint, will flow in its own way, and the object itself will become one of its parts in the end.
