Some of the most talented designers in architecture have turned to treehouses as a fresh palette on which to indulge their creative instincts. From prefabricated designs to sweeping, interpretive creations, there is no end to the inventiveness of these treetop Michelangelos.



The Sybarite treehouse project designed by Torquil McIntosh and Simon Mitchell conforms to the landscape, taking advantage of views and sunlight. The foundation and supports are designed to reduce impact on root systems. Rainwater collection, solar panels, and a wind energy system are also integrated, making the house mostly energy independent.

The flexible floor plans encourage an organic approach to country living. The Treehouse capitalizes on the beauty of its setting while minimizing its impact.

The layout, along with panoramic windows, maximizes the benefits of the sun’s path. The kitchen enjoys morning light while the living and bedroom spaces have the pleasure of sunset and twilight.

The modular prefabricated sections allow for configurations ranging from one to five bedrooms.

The Treehouse is designed to be 70 percent energy self-sufficient.
