Once threatened by developers, this 100 year-old historic Moreton Bay Fig tree is the subject of a rescue mission by Archicentre and The City of Frankston. Now with an intelligent design and construction program in place, this project will serve as an ideal example of a Year of the Built Environment project.

Two specially-designed townhouses will be built around the tree demonstrating innovative construction, environmental design, and child safety practices. The aim is simple: to show that houses can be designed in harmony with the environment, complementing our natural assets.

Website features include the fact sheets and a ‘photo gallery’ which will provide updates on the project as it proceeds. The Tree House project is a partnership between Archicentre, Frankston City Council and Devine Homes. Devine Homes will build the project at cost with proceeds going to KidSafe and the Frankston City Council Environment Fund.
