Tree Houses! From the past into the future...

In the future, will we give back the land to native plants and animals and live up in the trees? Hovering aircraft are available now, we just need to wait for the clean energy versions. If we compost our waste, give up plastics and petroleum, grow hydrophonically...what would our new footprint be?

A Tree Hotel
Northern Sweden, a light-weight aluminium structure hung around a tree trunk, a 4×4x4m box clad in mirrored glass. The exterior reflects the surroundings and the sky, creating a camouflaged refuge. The interior is made of plywood. Access to the cabin is by rope ladder. I worry about the birds though. www.tvark.se/treehotel

Free Spirit Spheres
Set among the tall trees of the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island, Canada. Handcrafted spheres are suspended like pendants from a web of rope.

Modular Tree House
Sybarite, London. These environmentally friendly, very light-weight prefabricated modular structures are made from 70% recycled materials. Powered by wind. Currently being built worldwide... Really! Waiting for a real picture! We hope one of the new owners will share. There is a place to tie your clean energy hovering aircraft. We can break up all the asphalt roads and let nature take back the planet!

Fab Tree Hab

Mass Institute of Technology

Live in a tree, not up in a tree...the tree grows in place 'as' the housing structure, instead of the growing, felling and transporting of lumber. A living structure is grafted into shape with prefabricated reusable scaffolds. A roof-top trough harvests water for human use; the plumbing system is positioned to provide for gravity-induced flow and gray-water reuse; a composting system treats human waste and will later return nutrients to the eco-system. www.archinode.com

Home is where the heart is...
