    Benoît Fray, who is an industrial designer, has discovered a sustainable tree house, which can be built by using the locally obtained wood. It is also known as Dans mon Arbre. This ‘Tree House’ is an existing space that is capable of spreading out and developing according to the existence of its occupants. It is also adequate to adjust to their requirements at the same time. One of the best advantages of this tree house is it is powered completely by the renewable energy.

    This is a tree house that is particularly designed for the campsite use. Most of these houses will have 32m2 of living space as well as an extra 32m2 for the terrace. You also have an option to change the interiors of the house according to your needs. The tree house has all the basic elements that will provide you a comfortable living: kitchen, shower, 2-3 rooms and toilet are some of the important elements of these houses.

    The Tree House is 5m from the ground, and it allows its inhabitants to live in the crown of the trees close to the heart of nature without disturbing the overall growth of the tree or its existing structure. The principal component of the house is wood that will be carefully taken from sustainably managed forests.

      It is cool to look at…but I have my doubts about it’s stability.

      These are very cool and I would have no problem living in one at all. Maybe not a great idea for areas with high winds though.

      Not a very stable design. If one of those guywires breaks…. TIMBER!!! So don’t put too much furniture on one side, and keep you guests evenly spread out throughout the ‘house’.

      HEY, we can be just like Ewoks. Whole communities can live in these, and we can even have a lookout blow a bullhorn when theres danger near, like snakes or politicians! I’m buying three!!!

      What happens when you need an addition? Especially if you plan to have kids. They show them in a mountainous area, which usually have higher amounts of seismic activity. Can that design take that?

      Wow! These beautiful eco-homes remind me a bit of the big village tree on Pandora in the movie Avatar.
