Treehouses: Living a Dream

by Alejandro Bahamón

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.

Not enough interior photos, too many treehouses by the same companies, and frankly, for me, virtual treehouses just don't count.
