TreeLife by The Cool Hunter. A public interactive outdoor exhibition of cutting-edge tree houses designed by the world’s top architects, designers and artists.

After four years of spreading the latest word on cool online, The Cool Hunter is proud to announce the launch of its first “real world” public event, TreeLife by The Cool Hunter which is set to land in iconic park locations in New York, London, Sydney and other exciting cities in Europe, New Zealand, Canada and Asia during 2009 and 2010.
TreeLife by The Cool Hunter will showcase cutting-edge eco design by the world’s best architects, designers and artists.

Tree houses have become creative eco-statements in the design world; structures that don’t impose themselves on the environment, but blend into it with harmony, respect and grace. They allow people to literally live in “nature,” a place of peace and tranquility high above the street level of life where stress dominates.

The Cool Hunter will invite the world’s most exciting established and emerging architects, designers and artists to design a tree-house for the event. TreeLife is a thoroughly green event, and tree houses will be crafted from sustainable or recycled materials. The participating designers will be briefed to design the tree houses as ‘stand alone’ structures that only appear to be suspended in the trees, so the exhibition does not impact on the trees or the environment.

A board of curators will work to select the participating architects, designers and artists, both established “stars” and rising talent from across the globe as well as the event’s home city.

TreeLife by The Cool Hunter will be held over four weeks, and will feature a program of cool sustainable entertainment events happening around the exhibition.
