ABSTRACT
In the present condition the pollution and deforestation are increasing day by day and it is
leading to a stressful life. As the people are working day and night, they are not able to spend
their time with their family members and it is creating distance between them. The Tree Resort
is a place where we can reduce deforestation and pollution of environment and increase the
plantation. This tree resort helps us to increase the bonding between the family members with
nature and spend their leisure time without any work stress and tensions. This tree resort also act
as a meeting and gathering space for people.
FIG:1 Showing the resort and the nature are combined to form a single unit.

1. INTRODUCTION ABOUT TREE RESORT

1.1 ABOUT TREE RESORT
A tree house is a platform or building constructed around, next to or among

the trunk or branches of one or more mature trees while above ground level. Tree houses can be used
for recreation, workspace, habitation, a hangout space and observation.
1.2 WHERE TREE HOUSES ARE FOUND?
Tree houses can be found in a rain forest or a jungle or tropical areas. Tree houses can be
found in these areas because there is enough wood and trees, for them to build houses. Tree houses
are also built here because it's very easy to hide.
http://amazinghomesaroundtheworld.weebly.com/tree-houses.html
FIG: 1.5.1 Shows the Tree House
1.3 HISTORY OF TREE HOUSE

In the mid-19th century, a town just west of Paris called Plessy Robinson became famous for
its tree house restaurants, where chic Parisians could be found during their leisure time. The
restaurants were built in chestnut trees, covered in rambling roses and had 200 tables at the height of
its popularity.
About 25 years ago, a tribe of about 4,000 indigenous people was discovered living in the
jungles of Papua New Guinea. The Kombai are an ancient tribe of hunter-gatherers who live on
staples such as wild pigs, sago grubs and palm; they also practice cannibalism as a form of tribal
punishment against male witchcraft. The Kombai live in tree houses constructed anywhere from 9.1
to 30.5 meters above ground. Their soaring homes offer protection from flood water during heavy
rains, insects and the heat of the jungle

1.4 LIFE SPAN OF TREE HOUSE

When built in the right tree and with regular maintenance, tree houses can last an average of
10 to 15 years or longer depending on how long the tree itself lives.
With proper design and construction, structure will survive high winds. If you live in an area
where winds might pose a danger, experts recommend building your tree house in the lower third of
the tree, keeping its small to minimize potential damage.
The trunk of the tree should be large so that the tree can bear the weight of the house.

1.5 TREE DAMAGE CAUSED BY TREE HOUSE BUILDING

If a treehouse is designed poorly it is easy to cause damage to the tree, but by following some
simple guidelines you can reduce damage as much as possible. It is impossible to cause no damage at
all, but trees have evolved several techniques to tolerate damage and remain healthy. As trees are
living organisms, they differ from familiar building materials in the following four ways.
• They can be infected by bacteria and viruses, causing loss of branches or death to the whole tree.
• They slowly grow larger over time, increasing the diameter of their trunk every year.
• They use a process called compartmentalization to isolate damaged or infected areas.
• They will compensate for a changed weight distribution.
INFECTIONS:
Due to the infections which are caused by the tree can lead to sudden death or reduces the life
span of the tree. The bark of the tree helps to protect the living layers underneath from exposure to
these attacks. If the bark is damaged, the living tissue is exposed which increases the chances of
infection.
CUTTING THE TRUNK OR BRANCHES:

Never cut pieces out of the tree to allow supports to fit better as this exposes a lot of living tissue.
NAILS AND SCREWS

Use nails and screws for the flooring, framing and wall panels only, because If we screw a nail to
the trunk of the tree, then the tree will loose its strength.
BOLTS
The general recommendation for fixing supports cheaply is to fit a single, large lag bolt into a
cleanly drilled pilot hole. This reduces the number of puncture points to one and eliminates
dangerous problems of compartmentalization.
1.6 COMPARTMENTALIZATION
When a tree is damaged it attempts to reduce the spread of disease and rot by isolating the
damaged section. A barrier layer grows around the damage over several years and nutrients no
longer flow to the area. This is called a compartment. If the compartment forms correctly, the tree
will once again be safe from infection at that point and the bolt will be solid.
INTRODUCTION 02
INTRODUCTION
Fitting bolts, nails or screws close together in the tree is the most common problem. The tree may
treat each hole as a separate injury and set up separate compartments, but it may treat the whole area
as damaged and form one large compartment so that after a few years the area to which the support
is fixed will die and lose a lot of its strength.
So without damaging the trunk of the tree, one must use the modern techniques like I section
around the trunk with a smaller number of nails and bolts which is incorporated in the case study 2,
as mentioned in the chapter 5.

2.1 NEED/RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY

• The approach in this project is to design environmentally friendly resort that will save the
environment, and it is also considered as a place for relaxation and entertainment for visitors and
tourists.
• If we cut down all the tree in the world, then to produce oxygen for humans it costs a millions of
rupees, but the trees are doing it for free. Through this type of project, deforestation is avoided.
• Tree resort makes only a minimal impact on the environment without compromising guests;
comfort and safety.
2.2 AIM
To blend the humans into the natural environment and to create a stress-free environment for the
tourists.
2.3 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this proposal are
• Though the site is situated in hilly region, deforestation practice is not done as all the cottages
in the resorts are constructed without disturbing the trees.
• To provide a natural and healthy environment to the visitors with various facilities and
functions.
• Comfortable design which portrays an environment of leisure and interaction with the nature.
• Place which can serve for dual purposes like having vacation or business tours.
• The design should not disturb the existing natural conditions.
2.4 SCOPE
• To design a tree resort for people which includes relaxation and recreational spaces that relives
them from the feeling of stress, restores their energy and promotes the sense of joy.
• Taking in consideration of the wind flow all the resorts are designed.
• To make the project sustainable, the usage of concrete is limited.
• Due to the high concentric zone for tourist, this place has major attractions of vegetation,
topography , climate and other natural features.

3.1 INTRODUCTION TO TREE RESORT
Terminology/definitions
3.1.1 WHAT IS A TREE?
As we all know, tree is a woody perennial plant, typically having a single trunk growing to a
certain height and having lateral branches at some height from the ground.
TREES SUITABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF TREE RESORT

Deciduous trees: Trees that lose their leaves in fall and winter as they tend to grow more slowly and
have stronger, more dense wood making them up. Mature deciduous trees can be used to support a
tree house. Deciduous trees tend to have denser wood which can support greater loads.
Examples: CASSIA FISTULA,TAMARINDUS INDICA, etc.,
FIG: 3.1.1.1 Cassia Fistula FIG: 3.1.1.2 Tamarindus Indica

(Source: http://www.flowersofindia.net)
Evergreen trees: Any plant that retains its leaves through the year and into the following growing
season. Many tropical species of broad-leaved flowering plants are evergreen. The leaves of
evergreens usually are thicker and leatherier than those of deciduous trees (those that shed their
leaves in autumn or in the tropical dry season) and often are needle like or scale like in cone-bearing
trees.
Examples: AZARDIRACHTA INDICA,SILVER OAK TREE, etc.,

ABOUT RESORTS
3.1.3 WHAT IS A RESORT?
A resort is a place where families intend to spend their

holidays or weekends for relaxation or recreation so that one
can spend their leisure time with their family. A Resort is a
full-service facility, intended primarily for vacationers and
FIG: 3.1.3.1 Leela Kovalam Beach Resort , Kerala
usually located in places frequented for relaxation or recreation (Source: https://www.keralatourism.org)
such as beaches, seashores, scenic or historic areas, ski parks, spas. Resorts are usually designed in
such a manner to create outdoor spaces and views to guest rooms and public areas. We can say that a
resort is a self-contained establishment, providing for most of a vacationer's needs while remaining
on the premises (lodging, food, drink, sports, entertainment, shopping, etc.).

3.1.4 WHAT IS A TREE RESORT?
A tree resort should make only a minimal impact on the environment without compromising
guest’s comfort and safety. The tree resort must blend with the natural environment without
disturbing.

3.2 ORIGIN OF RESORTS

• The history of resorts is tied closely, as one might imagine, with the history of tourism and
travel. For that reason it is possible to study resorts as part of tourism from a variety of
perspectives.
• The origin of resorts can be traced back to the second century BC to the public baths of Rome.
Baths were much like resorts of today because of all the amenities offered at their locations.
• Most baths include gyms, libraries, snack bars, restaurants, shops, lounges, taverns, museums
and theatres. The first net worthy resort area was developed in Belgium in 1326, now called spa.
• The most famous resort of the ancient world was Baiae, Italy which was popular over 2000
years ago. First resort in united states were developed in mid 17th century.
