Who wants to live in a tree house with me?

So it's about time I admit that I am completely obsessed with contemporary tree houses. From a fine-art perspective these houses are architecturally brilliant. From an environmental stand-point they do wonders for low-impact living. Most of all they remind me of my childhood; playing in the woods, climbing into my tree house for some alone time. There is something so fanciful about a tree house. These are some of my favorite designs!
Architect Tom Chudleigh makes "Free Spirit Spheres". They are environmentally brilliant, and serene. Check out this video where he takes you on a tour of these spheres.

The Seattle based group Tree House Workshop takes their structures very seriously and try to make them as practical and beautiful as possible. 

I recommend you all check out their site http://www.treehouseworkshop.com/index.html

Lastly, a friend of mine exposed me to this tree school. Yes, this is an actual educational facility in a tree. Take a look at this amazing story told at the TedX talks-
