Combining architecture and landscaping, imaginative builders create treehouses which mix into their surroundings and preserve the health of the trees that support them. Some treehouses blend a classic look with contemporary angles, clean lines and modern design elements. These treetop dwellings mix with their natural settings and are often customized to client specifications.

German landscape architect, Rudolf Doernach, developed treehouse-building techniques that he broadly called “biotecture” or “agritecture”These methods are set up to be largely self-sustaining. Once the initial planting and early training of the branches is complete, the structures continue to grow on their own. Eco-friendly treehouses use minimal external energy while providing maximum agricultural yield.

With proper knowledge, the architect believes, you can grow your own house. These are the ultimate in low-cost, low-maintenance, zero-energy homes
