How About A Tree House?
Tree Houses Climb to Architectural Heights
The arboreal designs featured in TASCHEN’s new book aren’t your dad’s Home Depot box variety. Uniquely stunning, all 62 structures in Modern Tree Houses respond to the surrounding environment, whether a tiny, winterized pod for escaping the snow or a split-level playground complete with climbing ropes and nests. Built by architects and amateurs alike, each dwelling is varied in material, layout, purpose, and aesthetic, although all thrive because of their proximity to nature’s beauty.

“Modern tree houses are proof that happiness doesn’t have to be built big—just built right,” author Florian Siebeck says, presenting an array of spaces from luxurious escapes to children’s hideouts. Pre-order your copy in the Colossal Shop.
* My unasked for opinion: simplistic as it sounds: "I really I believe that humans need trees. Not just chemically and physically, but soulfully. So that where we have chosen cement over green, we have robbed the human soul of a basic need." j.long

Jacki, thank you so much for your kind yesterday's reply on my comment. It was so comforting and made my soul sing.
I so agree with your opinion about trees. They are so important for us, each and every one.
