The ancient tree embodies the village’s spiritual memory, with the site lying next to a creek. Guided by “light intervention,” the design follows the terrain to build a multi-tiered wooden deck, creating viewing, seating, and activity areas at varying elevations. Lower levels reach the waterside, while upper levels rest beneath the tree’s shade. Benches are nestled between steps, inviting villagers to chat and visitors to pause. Reversible wooden construction preserves the original soil and vegetation, making the platform appear as if grown from the land. With the tree standing tall and the creek flowing on, this deck bridges memory and present, sustaining the village’s cultural heritage through human use.
