so i came across what can only be described as the coolest website ever,
and by cool, i mean innovative, unprecedented and just plain awesome. i present to you: http://www.baumraum.de/
and i can honestly say i tried to pick just one treehouse to display, but i'm pretty much obsessed with each and every single one. completely revolutionary, these internationally constructed tree houses come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from locations in the woods of hungary to hills of austria.
again, they are totally eco-friendly. the result of a research
project "with the aim of producing a solution to green belt housing issues," these tree homes are comprised of recycled materials and self-sufficient features such as built-in solar energy, wind generating electricity supplies, rainwater collection for washing up and a self cleansing external finish. home-owners can start with one bedroom and simply add modules whenever desired.
i can only imagine how much these babies cost, but all i can say is that it's probably worth it. if you're a fan of your childhood, the environment, living a minimalist lifestyle or trying something new, the initial expense of these future-savvy abodes would pay-itself off with merely nominal expenditures on utilities.
the only downfall to the website is that it is mostly in another language (german, i think?), but even just looking at the photos is mind-blowing. i'd suggest clicking on the british flag to start and then making your way to "designs"
and "our projects." you will surely be amused and fascinated for hours. and then, you will fall in love with tree houses and want one for your very own backyard. (:
