A Different Sort of Treehouse
This treehouse wasn’t made exactly to be a treehouse; at least not how you might think.
The Tree House Clapham is covered in the book Diary of an Ecobuilder, and is really special. A huge tree occupied the lot of the Clapham house, making home building a bit of work. However, instead of taking the tree out the home was built around the tree in a way. It’s easier if you see.
There are plenty of tree features going on in this eco-home. Like the great staircase:
Other eco features of this home include reduced energy demands, reclaimed and recycled material use, rainwater capturing, and more. This is a great home site to browse if you’re looking for green home inspiration. You can see a huge photo gallery or read the partial building journal at the main Tree House website. You can also purchase a book about the house; the afore mentioned, Diary of an Ecobuilder.
