TREE HOUSES
Is…. anything cooler? I can’t think of very many things. Well, okay maybe I can, but I think we can all agree that no matter who you are, no matter how old, no matter where in the world you live, no matter what kind of interests you have, everyone, EVERY ONE, loves and wants a cool tree house.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on my regular blog/creative websites rounds and since I had a few minutes before work I thought I’d pop over to www.dwell.com to see what the good people of Dwell Magazine have uncovered from the wide wide world of dwelling design. Of course this is what greeted me warmly there on the main site page and sent me into hysterics. The accompanying article explains that this lovely little wooden piece of expert craftsmanship and design happens to be just a hop-skip-and-a-jump away in Brentwood, Los Angeles. You must read the article here but basically this tree house is a result of a 40 year old pine tree falling over in the owners back yard but continuing to live. Because of the owners deep respect for the tree and imaginative mind it was decided that a brilliantly designed tree house/office/guest house be erected atop the fallen tree as a means of honoring it. How poetic. Okay I rolled my eyes when I wrote “how poetic” but really it is incredibly cool and the tree house is just … well… wonderful.
