"The arboreal designs featured in TASCHEN's new book aren't your dad's Home Depot box variety."
"Uniquely stunning, all 62 structures in Modern Tree Houses respond to the surrounding environment, whether a tiny, winterized pod for escaping the snow or a split-level playground complete with climbing ropes and nests."
"Built by architects and amateurs alike, each dwelling is varied in material, layout, purpose, and aesthetic, although all thrive because of their proximity to nature's beauty."
""Modern tree houses are proof that happiness doesn't have to be built big-just built right," author Florian Siebeck says, presenting an array of spaces from luxurious escapes to children's hideouts."
Sixty-two contemporary tree houses present a wide range of environment-responsive designs, from compact winterized pods to expansive split-level playhouses with ropes and nests. Structures were created by both professional architects and amateurs, using varied materials, layouts, and aesthetics to suit different purposes, including luxurious retreats and children's hideouts. Designs prioritize integration with surrounding nature, optimizing location, climate response, and proximity to natural beauty. Many examples demonstrate efficient, thoughtful use of limited space, suggesting that small-scale construction can achieve comfort, delight, and functional diversity without requiring large footprints.
