The treehouse in its most simple and fundamental form enables us to
escape from the everyday pressures of modern life and feel closer
to nature. It can also be an architectural wonder, showcasing the
most creative of small space design and engineering solutions. This
beautiful book shows how the treehouse can be many things: from
simple structures based on centuries-old woodworking skills to
modern geodesic forms strung high up above the treeline. There is
something magical about treehouses - whatever your age. These
boltholes perched above the ground appeal to those of us who want
to get close to nature without forgoing any creature comforts...
there are treehouses with wood-burning stoves, some with copper
baths and some with elevated linking walkways obscured by the
canopy of trees above. Then there are the handmade simple
structures using recycled materials and the branches of the trees
for both internal and external support and design. There are also
free-standing structures on stilts inspired by the physical tree
but not attached in any way. The book offers both visual
inspiration from the specially commissioned photography but also
the human stories behind the creation and design of these
treehouses. The text covers topics such as the plan, structure,
materials and decoration, colour palette and texture, and style
notes to bring to life the personal and interesting story behind
each treehouse featured in the book.
