Ultimate Treehouses

by David Clark

There's something magical about a cabin set among tree branches. It excites adults and tempts children away from sedentary pursuits to a world of outdoor fantasy. Treehouses come in all shapes and sizes, from a simple deck in the sky to an elaborate complex of interconnecting structures far above the ground. They can be romantic, luxurious, or designed for entertaining friends. This engaging book contains some of the most interesting examples from around the world, and also features a wide range of interiors, designed for various functions. It's an invaluable source of lofty ideas for anyone contemplating a move up--into the trees.

I love treehouses, I have a thing about them you might say. My dream is to build a Bali-style little guesthouse, three separate pavilions, up in the rainforest on this island. Next to the parents' house I want to have little treehouses for the kids' bedrooms. So I buy treehouse books and dream.... and plan

More about the history of treehouses and where to find some elegant treehouse escapes, than about how to build a treehouse. Good little section about tree varieties though.

picked this up in hopes of some useful tips on treehouse building - not much in this respect, but some really amazing photographs and designs!
