Leafhaven Cottage, the family home
Hidden in an old tree around Daan Forest Park. One storey, one room: sleeping and working share the same space.
A cottage of cardboard, thin wood and leaves. The roof doesn’t like rain, and fixing it is what the whole family wants most.

At a glance
The work corner
Thread, wood chips and found tools; this is where Taisheng mends things.
Water
The water in the bark bowl, which the whole family uses every day.
The family corner
When they’re tired they squeeze in together and talk about the day’s finds.
Outside
In a sheltered corner outside sits Yehe’s bottle-cap nursery: a dark-blue plastic cap with a little soil and one trial seedling. It grows slowly, but a little every day.
What they fear most is rain
The roof isn’t waterproof enough yet. On stormy days the family worries their things will get soaked. Fixing the roof is something they all want to do together.
Why you can’t see exactly where it is
Because it’s their secret. The site only ever says “around Daan Forest Park”, never which tree or where the door is, so they can live in peace.
