About This Item
Taschen, Germany, 2012. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. Illustrator: Patrick Hruby. The idea of climbing a tree for shelter, or just to see the earth from another perspective, is surely as old as humanity. Tree houses are chronicled in ancient civilizations and their lore crosses through the history of every part of the world where trees grow. This stunningly-illustrated study offers a tour of the best tree houses in the world, some designed by architects, others the work of unknown craftsmen. A teahouse, a restaurant, a hotel, a playhouse for children, or a perch from which to contemplate life--the tree house can take as many forms as the imagination can offer. In times of concern for sustainability and ecological responsibility, the tree house may also be the ultimate symbol of life in symbiosis with nature. Whether rustic or contemporary in style, tree houses make the most of space. Climb into this trove of tree houses and enjoy a new perspective on the world. 50 tree houses from around the world Covers all different styles, from romantic to modern Every house is depicted in several photos as well as one illustration by artist Patrick Hruby from Los Angeles 352 pages.

On Apr 27 2014, Jw468 said:
This is a monumental (in size, not in content) coffee table book about tree houses. My rating is not of the tree houses themselves, but of Taschen’s book, which I thought could have been much better. My biggest problem with this book is the general lack of information. The book clearly would have accommodated more information, such as drawings, sketches, details of how the tree houses connect to the trees, etc. Some of the more unusually tree houses have been featured on certain design blogs with much better coverage which can be accessed for free. The majority of the designers’ websites also provide more information.
