The Watchtower

The Watchtower challenged the idea of creating an ad hoc construction deep in the hilly woodlands of Dorset in only three weeks.  The goal was to achieve a view of the sea located seven miles away over top of the dense tree canopy situated 30 feet over the woodland floor.  The tower is constructed of all natural materials, forest thinnings and hemp rope, to protect the surrounding woodland.
