Notice Title

RBGKEW1080 - Treehouses at Kew

Notice Description

'Treehouses' will be a temporary exhibition of seven treehouses, each designed by a different architect, set across the iconic landscape of Kew Gardens. This will be Kew's main exhibition running from April to October 2023. For the purposes of this exhibition, a treehouse has been defined as being 'a spatial experience that allows for visitors to engage with a tree in a new and unique way'.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) ('The Client' or 'The Employer') will be seeking a lead contractor to deliver the technical design, fabrication and installation of all seven treehouses in line with the designs. The contract will also include the dismantling and removal of all seven structures.
