Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:


Tree houses are no longer just for children. With the growing excitement surrounding tree house architecture, adults around the world are building their own treetop hideaways; savoring the childhood memories, feelings of nostalgia, and images of fantasy that are evoked by these almost dreamlike constructions.

TreeHouses: Living a Dream brings together the most innovative ideas of today's architects and designers, providing readers with a comprehensive exploration of the unique construction methods that allow these amazing structures to adapt to their changing environments. From Nebraska and Georgia to France and Germany, this book features a variety of projects that include playrooms, weekend retreats, home offices, dining rooms, and more. Each case study includes interior and exterior photography, as well as detailed site and floor plans accompanied by concise, informative text.

With more than 350 full-color illustrations, TreeHouses: Living a Dream is sure to help every reader make a reality out of their tree house fantasy.
