Tree Houses: Fairy Tale Castles in the Air FREE DOWNLOAD
The idea of climbing a tree for shelter, or just to
see the earth from another perspective, is surely as old as humanity.
Tree houses are chronicled in ancient civilizations and their lore
crosses through the history of every part of the world where trees grow.
This stunningly-illustrated study offers a tour of the best tree houses in the world,
some designed by architects, others the work of unknown craftsmen. A
teahouse, a restaurant, a hotel, a playhouse for children, or a perch
from which to contemplate life—the tree house can take as many forms as
the imagination can offer. In times of concern for sustainability and
ecological responsibility, the tree house may also be the ultimate symbol of life in symbiosis with nature.
Whether rustic or contemporary in style, tree houses make the most of
space. Climb into this trove of tree houses and enjoy a new perspective
on the world.
