1. Treehouse by mom and dad Sweden
Location : Mjölby, southern Sweden
Used for: a tree house for two children in the family and their friends
Builders: mom and dad
There is nothing wrong with your typical hut on the ground, but when the two children of that family were a little older, they wanted something more exciting: a tree house.
Their father agreed. He had always loved building things and dreamed of having a treehouse himself as a child.
Now he and his family have this adorable, built with parts of an existing cabin and nestled in the branches of a big old oak tree in their garden. The branches were so well spaced, no nails were needed to obtain the structure of the tree.

Location: Solingen, western Germany
Used to a playroom for Clara, daughter architect Michael Schumacher
Manufacturer: Schneider + Schumacher
Clara dreamed of having a cabin in the garden of his grandmother somewhere she could play, reading and sleeping while floating in the air. So his father, architect Michael Schumacher, has created this fun, romantic space, surrounded by seven birch trees, which he planted as a child with his father.
The house is built of WISA-Spruce (veneer plywood), strong and inexpensive material that reflects the current trend using raw plywood in architecture and decor. The structure is 129 square feet (12 square meters) cocoon reinforced by three acrylic panels uniformly curved. This not only saves weight, it makes the Treehouse almost completely transparent when you see it side-on.
Feature: A green roof for cover is fixed with steel strings on the trees and help "Treehouse Clara" fit into its natural environment.

Fun story: While Schumacher and Clara had lunch at a sushi restaurant near his office, they drew ideas for the treehouse on napkins. When the conveyor belt sushi brought the dessert, the design was nearly complete. "That's what I call an excellent collaboration between the architect and the client!" Schumacher said.

6. Treehouse Built for Adventure in Japan
Location: Lake Kawaguchi, Yamanashi Prefecture, east Japan
Used for: Part of house of weekend [unefamilleof
Manufacturer: Tsuyoshi Yomoya and Reiko
This project was designed by the patriarch of the family, a businessman who runs a business and thought it would be good to hold meetings of the board in a treehouse. To make his idea come true, he hired Tsuyoshi Yomoya, a renowned manufacturer of Treehouse in Japan.
As there was no tree thick enough to hold a house on his own, the manufacturer has created a structure supported by three posts with an existing beech tree through its center. This place, in the middle of a wood, is very humid, and wood can rot easily, so Yomoya used special raw cypress imported from Australia for positions. The posts were so heavy that eight people, including the client and his friends had to help carry each on the site by hand.
The customer and the builder became good friends during the project and their families spent time together here full of adventure relaxation.

7. Havre girl in Russia
Location: the campaign of Moscow, Russia
Used for: a refuge for a young woman
Manufacturer: Alexey Kozyr
architecture studio
This unusual treehouse was built for a young woman on the lawn of the house of his parents in a cottage community near Moscow. The skeleton was created in the workshop of a carpenter and then mounted around a tree, the trunk has become the main axis of the house. The structure will widen as the tree grows and the trunk becomes larger through special elastic bands that wrap around the trunk and keep it at home .
After the house was attached to the tree, it was painted the color of pine bark and covered with a tent, which acts as a roof. The shape of the house reminds an egg or a wasp nest. The architect was also inspired by the Russian willow basketry.

9. Tree 'Bach' Beers in New Zealand
Location: the periphery of Palmerston North, on the island New Zealand North
Used for: A place to escape to friends
Manufacturer: Jono Williams design engineer, with the help of his little girlfriend, Kim Lock, and many friends
This treehouse "bach", or vacation cabin was built five years ago for a bit of fun, "a reason to go out and take a few beers with friends, "said builder Jono Williams. The getaway greenery is a 10-minute walk from the home of his parents and 10-minute drive from his. It is on a steep hill, which means that the bach is raised above the front and rear.
Williams started the construction of the base frame, which includes a triangular bracing structure between three pines, which keeps trees to swing independently and damage to the cabin.
The Treehouse itself is compact at least 108 square feet (10 square meters). Williams has manufactured a custom heating system, added a couch and completely isolated from the room.

10. Cocoon Treehouse as in Scotland
Location: Scotland, United Kingdom
Used for: The retirement of a couple for two
Builder Sam Booth Echo Living
This structure is not built in a real tree, but three pods resemble clouds as trees at the top of their trunks. The main pod, which is 126 square feet (11.7 square meters), houses an open space for sleeping, dining room and kitchen, while a second has a bathroom with a small hallway connecting the two spaces. The third pod holds all the electrical equipment.
Small windows within the tiny structure views and let in the light of pockets. "The idea was to recreate the dappled light you get through the leaves of the trees," says designer Sam Booth. Although the spirit of the Treehouse, which you normally associate with children, it is the pension of a couple, he said.
The structure, clad in Douglas fir from a local forest, wrapped in corrugated metal and insulated with sheep's wool in its walls and roof, is comfortable enough to be used even while bracing winters of Scotland.
