Radius of Tree Canopy

The radius of Tree Canopy is used to inform the size of the dome, which will create the enclosed habitat for the possums.

2

Punctuations were created within the domes such that the original tree positions will be retained and its growth not obstructed by the structure.

3

Large tubular structures were added to ensure structural integrity.

4

The dome panels will be made of combination of glass panels and steel mesh, that is held together by a steel lattice structure.
