Branching out. Childhood fantasy meets grown-up savoir faire
The idea of climbing a tree for shelter, or just to see the earth
from another perspective, is surely as old as humanity. Tree houses
are chronicled in ancient civilizations and their lore crosses
through the history of every part of the world where trees grow.
This stunningly-illustrated study offers a tour of the best tree
houses in the world, some designed by architects, others the work
of unknown craftsmen. A teahouse, a restaurant, a hotel, a
playhouse for children, or a perch from which to contemplate
life--the tree house can take as many forms as the imagination can
offer. In times of concern for sustainability and ecological
responsibility, the tree house may also be the ultimate symbol of
life in symbiosis with nature. Whether rustic or contemporary in
style, tree houses make the most of space. Climb into this trove of
tree houses and enjoy a new perspective on the world.
50 tree houses from around the world
