Prefab Treehouses
Who didn't want a tree house growing up?  Well now you can either live vicariously through your kids or indulge in the greatest mid life crisis ever.  Or, in a few cases, downsize to a really sweet treehouse until this whole economic downturn thing blows over.  A bunch of new lines of sleek, modern treehouses put living in the trees back at the top of the page:



A collaborative effort between “an architect, a landscape architect, an arbologist, and a craftsman”, German company Baumraum design natural, modern treehouses. Built predominantly with larch and Douglas pine, the pieces are prefabricated and then brought together on site.

What takes these treehouses completely over the top is that the “treespaces can be outfitted with sitting and sleeping benches, storage spaces, a mini-kitchen, heating, glass windows, lighting, as well as a sound system for multimedia”, making your treehouse the coolest one on the block.

THAT precisely is the problem. It's too expensive to make a difference. Imagine cabins like this in the woods instead of building hulking structures. I'd love to spend a weekend in a place like this if it were more affordable. Who really spends time inside anyway?!

Just as long as it's got wi-fi, place for a huge LCD and stuff like that, that would a dream living area!

DO WANT! Those tree houses would be the best place to live in the whole world. Up in the tree, by yourself... it would be peaceful! And if it looks like that, very nice looking too.

I love it. I am game for downsizing into this thing :)

the german company says that their houses cost between 18-150k Euros... i'm guessing the picture is one of the "nicer" treehouses.

Where's the plumbing for the toilet? Turn to these during the economic downturn? I'd guess these cost more than my house...
