The Fab Tree Hab is a terrestrial reef and grafted living tree structure. Shared by people and animals, this multispecies habitat combines indigenous tree-grafting techniques with computationally designed cross-laminated timber (CLT) arch scaffolds. The goal is to prototype a dwelling and ecological observatory that is seamlessly integrated into its natural landscape and replaces harmful industrial materials with durable, bio-based and woven jute alternatives. In every respect, this project increases biodiversity and minimizes carbon footprint, pushing the boundaries of regenerative design.
