John Lewis\u2019s pioneering partnership with the Quiet Mark award programme sets a new benchmark in sound quality for the next generation of high performance low-noise technology, designed to be in closer harmony with nature. A not-for-profit organisation, \u2018Quiet Mark\u2019, is the international mark of approval from the UK\u2019s Noise Abatement Society, endorsed by DEFRA, encouraging the design of quieter high performance technology and solutions to reduce unwanted noise in our environment. The distinctive purple Quiet Mark assures consumers that a product is one of the quietest in its category with an easy labelling system at point of sale.<\/p>\n<p>This whole project was initiated by Poppy Elliot, MD of Quiet Mark. This unique partnership aimed to raise awareness and evolve consumer understanding of sound quality whilst working to develop a new era of sound measurement for electrical products sold at the UK\u2019s favourite department store.<\/p>\n<p>Working collaboratively with Quiet Mark and John Lewis, we designed and built the Quiet Mark Treehouse, an ambitious project erected as the central feature at the renowned RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. The theme for the 2014 event was \u2018grow, inspire and escape\u2019 so it was important that the treehouse reflected these concepts. With over 130,000 visitors expected at the show, the treehouse was to sit within a spectacular garden designed by acclaimed garden designer David Domoney of ITV\u2019s Love Your Garden. The structure had to be magical; reflecting an ethereal haven inspired by nature and the great outdoors.<\/p>\n                \t<a class=\"line-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/our-process\/\" target=\"_self\">the design process<\/a>\n              <\/div>\n         <\/div>\n               <div class=\"features_container\">\n                    <div class=\"features-list\">\n            <h4>Features:<\/h4>\n                        <ul>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/satellite-deck.png\" alt=\"Satellite Deck\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Satellite Deck<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kitchen.png\" alt=\"Kitchen\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Kitchen<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                          <\/ul>\n                      <\/div>\n          \n                <\/div>\n      \n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"images-grid-container\" id=\"image-grid\">\n    <div class=\"images-grid-wrap\">\n                  <div class=\"images-grid-item four-images-grid-wrapp\">\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-grid-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-grid-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-grid-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"images-grid-item single-image-grid\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-large-grid-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n              <div class=\"images-grid-item single-image-grid\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-large-grid-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n              <div class=\"images-grid-item video-grid\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PJyBmTOLoCY\" data-fancybox>\n        <span class=\"video-grid-overlay\"><\/span>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-quiet-mark-tree-house-large-grid-03.jpg\" alt=\"\"  data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"the-design\" class=\"textbox-w-lefttitle leaves-bg parallaxbg\" style=\"background-color: #ebeded ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/themes\/blueforest\/images\/leaves.svg');\">\n  <div class=\"wrapper twl-inner\">\n    <div class=\"twl-inner\">\n      <span class=\"h4\">the design<\/span>      <div class=\"left-content\">\n        <h2>A modern and innovative structure<\/h2>              <\/div>\n            <div class=\"right-content\">\n        <p>Designed with elegant curves and shielded from the loud noises of the outside world, the Quiet Mark Treehouse offers the perfect balance between style and tranquility. Modern and innovative, the structure combines state-of-the-art gadgets and appliances, naturally beautiful timber and carefully styled interiors. Its bold contemporary design means that the structure can be installed independently of a host tree, yet still provides you with that wonderful treetop feeling, letting you look down on the world below.<\/p>\n<p>Suspended high above the ground, 26 large laminated timber ribs surround the treehouse &#8211; looking just like the trunks of ancient trees clustered together in a copse. Each of the 6m high timber ribs are finished with a unique and sustainable timber product called Kebony, a sustainable alternative to tropical hardwood. Kebony was a fitting choice for the treehouse because of its strength and environmental credibility. At ground level, three primary trunks formed from 48 interlocking \u2018Medite Tricoya\u2019 timber fins supported the cocoon-like creation. Besides being weather proof and durable, Medite Tricoya can be easily machined and painted. Each of the fins has been stained dark brown to match the external cladding of the building, reflecting the natural bark of trees.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the treehouse is quiet and comfortable, finished with a beautiful John Lewis Coir carpet and premium grade Cedar lining to give the building a light, natural and luxurious feel as well as a lovely woody fragrance. Patterned floor-to-ceiling windows act as a decorative feature while giving the room a bright and spacious feeling. Lunch and snacks can be prepared at the contemporary kitchenette and island, meaning that you don\u2019t have to keep making return trips whenever you start to feel peckish.<\/p>\n                \t<a
