Tree house

Remember when the idea of a Tree house was the best thing to happen inside your brain?
My family didnt have any large trees or area to build something so iconic to childhood. It also didnt help that my dad was VERY involved in anything that could possibly change the landscape of his glorious yard. Maybe those 2 reasons might be some that drove these adults to build these Tree houses.
Ive been surfing today. Please enjoy what I surf on my free time.

The Monstro Tree House
Its 8’-10’ recycled hollowed out log. The total height of the structure is 18'.
The log has about a 4'x4' hollow area in the center of the log that doubles as a playhouse.
You can also take a staircase up to the rear balcony

Interior Canopy Tree House
Minneapolis

Created by O2 Sustainability Tree Houses
Quote from their founder Dustin Feider on why they create monsterous treehouses: Tree houses are "..usually made of super heavy beams" ..“In the tree house world, people don’t explore alternative materials" “Our philosophy is to get people interested in the environment in their own backyard.”

His spherical creations, normally 13 feet in diameter and accessed by a basket lift, have very little detrimental impact on the trees from which they suspend.

4Treehouse
Toronto, Canada
By Lukasz Kos
this three-level hexagonal structure, which wraps around four trees overlooking Ontario’s Lake Muskoka. “The soaring projection of tree trunks into the enveloping canopy of the forest leads the users of 4treehouse to incrementally begin their ascent into this otherwise hidden world,” Kos says.

Okay, Ill stop now. Bye.
