If you're not into camping out in the local IKEA, you may want to try one of these sexy treehouses. When I was a kid, we spent countless hours in the woods building "forts." It truly was a sad day when we went out into the woods and they were gone and I don't just meant the multiple forts we had built.... the woods were gone too. Bulldozers had come in to make room for our subdivision expansion. I still haven't gotten over it. But I can't imagine how I would have felt if we had built something as grand as these 3 Treehouses. Check it out...
"The 4TreeHouse was designed by Lukasz Kos a masters student at the University of Toronto’s School of Architecture & Design. Posing as a Japanese lantern on stilts, Kos’ creation floats within the fir trees on Lake Muskoka, Ontario, an elegant slatted structure that scales the trees and lets light radiate down it’s core."
"The Nut Room located in Germany sports a cabin in the shape of a walnut. With the eight asymmetric posts and the unusual shape, this treehouse is beautiful. German cooperative Baumraum built this one and knows how to keep imagination alive in their homes. They create treetop dwellings which integrate beautifully into their forested surroundings, and preserve the integrity of the trees that support them."
"Dustin Feider had a different vision: one that would be good for the tree, the environment and the deep human need to reconnect with nature and our primordial roots. Through his company, O2 Treehouse, Feider is out to revolutionize not merely treehouses but the entire concept of habitat. All the materials used for the treehouse are entirely recycled - and while the original O2 Sustainability Treehouse is 13 feet wide, interiors and sizes can be customized according to customer specifications."
