Ralph Rapson住宅建于上个世纪50年代，当时一棵小红橡树种在入口附近，但随着时间的流逝，树长大后遮蔽了通向房屋前门的通道。明尼苏达州的CityDeskStudio受到委托，设计了这个具有引导性的人行通道，他们用白色预制混凝土板铺了简单的步道，引导人们去往住宅的入口。
This Ralph Rapson home was built in the 1950s, and a young Red Oak tree was planted near the entryway, but as the years passed, the tree grew and the front door to the home became mostly obscured by the tree. This is when Minnesota-based CityDeskStudio, were asked to step in to help direct visitors around the tree and to the front door. They did this by creating a simple walkway from precast white concrete pavers that lead to the entryway of the home.
设计师认为应当保留这棵树，所以塑造了一段与树干相呼应的混凝土铺地，还在树和铺地之间设计了一条木带。
通过这种方法，古树不仅得以继续生长，同时还为住宅设计了独一无二的入口，软化混凝土的硬边。
They didn’t want to damage the tree, so instead, they carved out a section of the concrete pavers to match the shape of the tree trunk, and they created a wood band that sits between the pavers and the tree.
By doing this, they not only protected the tree, but also created a unique feature for the entrance to the house and at the same time, softened the hard edge of the concrete.
