Gone are the simple days when we used to built DIY tree houses in our back yards. Like so many millennial childhood favorites, the humble tree houses have undergone a substantial transformation, and are now luxurious and stylish properties, perfectly adapted for our fast-paced world. They are getting increasingly popular too – not only due to their obvious nostalgic connotations, but also because of their close proximity to nature. As we have discussed in some of out previous articles, more and more people are looking for ways to rekindle their lost connection with the natural world. If you are one of them, and dream of a getaway in the forest or mountains, you will love this article! Our team has selected 85 incredibly cool tree houses, that evoke the quiet peace and tranquility of nature. Ranging from unusual and artistic designs and futuristic concepts, to comfortable family dwellings and tiny capsule huts – we have it all!
When it comes to cool tree houses, the only limit is your imagination. Although the classical design is pretty simple, we have seen loads of brilliant experimentation with unusual shapes, materials and locations. Cubical or cocoon-like structures, for example are rapidly gaining popularity. Concepts inspired by nature are also a huge hit, as they usually offer a more environmental friendly way of life that goes in line with its surroundings.
