TREE HOUSES. LIVING A DREAM
For most of us, a treehouse brings back childhood memories and feelings of nostalgia. Incorporating unique building methods to adapt to their living arboreal environs, treehouses have undergone few transformations in the course of their history. The paperback edition of this sumptuously illustrated volume brings together the most innovative ideas of architects and designers, through whom readers can learn to look at this very particular form of architecture in a new way.
HOMES ON DISTINCTIVE LAND
The land on which the following residences are built is the connecting thread of this volume. The plots, be it their topography or geological composition, determine the design of the houses and are a challenge for architects. The allotments' different heights and the geological characteristics define the organization and planning of the structures. Climatic elements such as wind, sun and rain determine the inclusion of energy-saving systems like a tank for rainwater or making use of the breezes to cool down the houses. The surroundings, mainly beautiful landscapes and ecological diversity, delimit the presence of houses, thus we can find some housing integrated into the scenery and other that provokes a clear visual contrast between nature and human creation.
