Book Description

May 22, 2007

An examination of some of the most ambitious and amazing treehouse architecture ever undertaken, this book presents as actual habitable homes... for adults!

For most of us, a treehouse brings back childhood memories and feelings of nostalgia. Incorporating unique building methods to adapt to their living arboreal environs, treehouses have undergone a few transformations in the course of their history. The paperback edition of this sumptuously illustrated volume brings together the most innovative ideas of architects and designers, through whom readers can learn to look at this very particular form of architecture in a new way. The wide variety of projects includes bedrooms with incredible views, home offices, and special gathering rooms. The book also displays exotic experimental projects in stunning settings throughout the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your kids Tree House, August 13, 2005
There are an awful lot of 'pretty house' books out there. Some of them offering quite unusual house designs. But nothing I've ever seen compares with the designs in this book. ==I've seen houses built on poles because they are located in a flood plain. Of course the Swiss Family Robinson and the Ewoks of StarWars fame lived in tree houses. I had one as a kid, and when my daughter came along, she had one (she could pull up the ladder and keep her brother out).

In this book however professional architects from all over Europe, Tasmania, and the U.S have been used to design houses that live up in trees. The houses are mostly not the entire living structure but are offices, retreats, studios, and some of the most exciting entertainment areas imaginable. The results are unbelievably striking.

The integration of the advanced design with the natural look of the trees gives a feeling of working together that I wouldn't have expected. This is true if the tree house is ultra modern, traditional, or some that I guess I'd just call unconventional. A surprising book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice photos, February 25, 2008
This review is from: Treehouses: Living a Dream (Paperback)
I bought some books on tree houses cause I want to build one. This was no help. Nice pictures (and ideas, maybe), tough.
If you want to look pictures and dream, buy the book. Otherwise don't.
